The IDDC’s “IN Indiana” marketing campaign is incorporated into this year’s Coolest Thing Made contest, which is run like a single-elimination, Hoosier Hysteria-style tournament. This year, the contest had a record 90 entries.
“This event has become just what the Indiana Chamber and IDDC hoped for: a showcase for the many tremendous makers and re-manufacturers across Indiana,” says Vanessa Green Sinders, Indiana Chamber president and CEO. “With interest continuing to intensify as the competitors are narrowed down to the very coolest, we know the spotlight will burn bright on the winners of upcoming rounds and the eventual champion.”
New this year, the IDDC will produce high-quality videos showcasing the eight quarterfinalists, which those companies will be able to use for their own promotions – and bragging rights.
Awards for this year’s top finishers will be presented at the 2024 Best IN Manufacturing Awards Luncheon on December 11 at the Indiana Roof Ballroom.
