Ignite: Building Maine’s Workforce of Tomorrow - 47th Annual Meeting and Champion Awards Celebration

How can Maine individuals, businesses, and communities create a strong future for Maine’s people? How can we advance the skills of Maine’s workforce to meet the needs of our growing economy?

Join us October 3, 2025 for networking, celebration of the individuals & businesses leading workforce development in Maine, and afternoon workshops aimed at harnessing your ideas for building Maine's workforce of the future.

This year we are teaming up with the MaineSpark coalition and Educate Maine to co-host a robust, full day of programming focused on building Maine’s workforce of tomorrow. We anticipate an audience of 200 cross-sector leaders from business, nonprofits, education, and philanthropy who will celebrate all we’ve accomplished together and help identify goals and strategies to dramatically advance educational and career opportunities for the next decade.
