The exhibitor showcase included hundreds of manufacturers and companies from diverse industries and backgrounds. Categories ranged from aerospace and automobiles to apparel and textiles, and approximately 50 percent of exhibitors were either woman- or veteran-owned. The inspirational stories behind these American made companies garnered the interest of national media, including two consecutive days of live appearances on FOX News and FOX Business.

Event highlights included:

  • A mega kick-off party with performances by country music super-duo Big & Rich, Ted Nugent and Cowboy Troy
  • A $75,000 check presentation to Wounded Warrior Project by Wahl Clipper Corporation, a 100-year-old company and American household name
  • A shark-style pitch panel for inventors by the United Inventors Association of America
  • Presentations and forums led by industry leaders
  • Supportive peer-to-peer networking and relationship building within the Made in the U.S.A. community
