Process Technique Seminars and Technical Papers. All day Saturday, we’ll conduct detailed sessions on complex topics ranging from Adhesives for Bonding Polyurethane to Failed Parts. You’ll gain valuable knowledge that will help solve pesky manufacturing challenges and bring greater efficiency to your operations. In addition to our seminars, we’ll select the best technical papers from among our members to highlight new findings and trends.

Energy and Cost Saving Panel. As energy costs continue to swallow profits, we’ve assembled a panel of experts to speak on what you can do to reduce costs in your facility while maintaining operational excellence.

Forward-Thinking Speakers. The future of polyurethane manufacturing is largely undefined, but careful research can help you shape your operations for success in the coming years. Jeff Dietrich, Senior Analyst, Institute for Trend Research, will discuss how to identify trends to maintain a competitive advantage in a tough market.

Growth through Green. Environmental sustainability is another trend we think is here to stay. Byrd Baggett, Certified Speaking Professional, is an expert in “greening” businesses across the manufacturing sector. He knows the tricks to being Earth-friendly while increasing your bottom line, even in a down economy.

This is only the beginning of the lasting value this year’s meeting will provide. And here at the PMA, we’ve worked hard to drive down meeting costs while delivering excellent meeting content.

We hope to see you in Vegas. For some classic Roman fun at Caesars Palace, don’t forget your gladiator getup for the Welcome Reception!
