Titan Gilroy will be this year's featured keynote speaker at the MX2023 Manufacturers' Expo to be held on Thursday, Nov. 9, at the York Expo Center. Gilroy is CEO and founder of TITANS of CNC. Founded in 2005, the company specializes in manufacturing parts for the medical, subsea and aerospace industries.

Gilroy began his career in manufacturing when he walked away from his professional boxing career and his rough past, including prison time, and found himself in a CNC machine shop where everything in his life changed. He shared his story on the reality series "Titan: American Built," which was dedicated to American manufacturing.

In the third season he went to San Quentin Prison and built an Elite CNC Academy. It was because of this experience that Gilroy developed the free TITANS of CNC Academy curriculum, which is now backed by aerospace companies and industry partners like Kennametal, Mastercam and Mitutoyo, and endorsed by more than 1,000 companies and agencies, including NASA, Northrop Grumman, Boeing and Disney.

Gilroy will share a message of hope and redemption, along with practical tools for students, educators, shop owners and business leaders.

MX2023 is a manufacturing trade show established to help industries build local supply chains, exhibit capabilities and increase business opportunities and new customers.
