When do we step out and take a risk ? Better yet , what drives our risk taking ? Top Drawer Media / Northwest Aerospace News has always been about finding new ways to help businesses connect and grow . Through our marketing and publishing teams , as well as our internet and digital resources , we have grown to be able to help and support numerous companies find new partners and enable success during these “ interesting ” days .
Our latest leap into nurturing aerospace industry growth was the fall hosting of our first Manufacturing Suppliers Expo in Spokane on October 7th and 8th . We offered 25 exhibitor booths and invited attendees to come and network with the manufacturers . By all accounts it was a gratifying event , as companies not only met and networked with new potential partners , but also consummated actual sales !
With year one now under our belt , we are excited to share that our second Expo will be held October 20th - 21st , 2025 , at the Mirabeau Hotel and Conference Center in Spokane . We are looking forward to making this an annual event focusing on B2B networking . Our efforts to facilitate a dedicated venue for interconnecting Pacific Northwest aerospace manufacturers seems to be successfully filling a need , and the reward will be a stronger , more vibrant industry .
Stay tuned for more information ! Thank you ,
