Check out what people say about Compete Smart, Montana’s anchor event for manufacturers and their allies, who support our communities, provide great jobs and build our economy:

2012 — You’ve enlightened us, you’ve entertained us, and you’ve motivated us. You’ve given us tools we need to "tune our engines." I can guarantee that we will be better leaders, better businessmen, and better manufacturers because of these two days, and I look forward to being here again.
