The networking event was preceded by a business briefing hosted by AMCHAM’s Human Resources and Manufacturing Committees under the topic of Translating Engagement into Value – Talent Attraction and Retention Strategies for Manufacturers. The briefing was led by two speakers – Martin Sørensen, Chief Executive Officer of Workmate and Ben Dobbs, Plant Managing Director of Alliance Laundry Systems – who shared tips for manufacturers to attract qualified candidates, retain valuable employees, as well as ways to create employee loyalty and engagement within manufacturing operations.

The hotel’s outdoor space overlooks the beach at sunset and was the perfect spot for chamber members to enjoy themselves, network, and delight in fine food and drink. With great service and hospitality from the venue, a great time was had by all.
