2026 ManufactureCT Annual Celebration

October 1, 2026 5:00 PM - 8:30 PM (EDT)

Description

Join us for ManufactureCT's Annual Celebration, one of Connecticut's premier Manufacturing Month events.

🗓️ Date: October 1, 2026
🕘 Time: 5:00 PM – 8:30 PM
📍 Location: Anthony's Ocean View, New Haven, CT


Join ManufactureCT as we kick off Connecticut Manufacturing Month by celebrating the innovators, leaders, and advocates shaping the future of manufacturing in Connecticut.

The evening's highlight is the unveiling of the inaugural ManufactureCT Innovation Award, recognizing groundbreaking innovation and excellence in Connecticut manufacturing. ManufactureCT will also present its Legislative Leadership Awards, honoring state leaders whose commitment has helped strengthen Connecticut's manufacturing industry, along with additional awards recognizing outstanding leadership and achievement across the manufacturing community.

Guests will enjoy networking, dinner, and remarks from Kirti Patel, Connecticut’s Chief Manufacturing Officer, before a keynote presentation by renowned coach, author, and speaker Paul D. Assaiante—one of the most accomplished coaches in collegiate sports history. 

During his 30-year career at Trinity College, Assaiante led the Bantams to 17 national championships, including 13 consecutive titles, and a remarkable 252-match winning streak. The author of Run to the Roar: Coaching to Overcome Fear, he will draw from decades of building championship teams and high-performance cultures to share lessons on leadership, resilience, teamwork, and sustained excellence that resonate far beyond the playing field.
