On Thursday, May 18th you will have the opportunity to hear innovative ideas around the themes of product and workforce from 9 different speakers in a fast-paced setting. The 2017 Industrial Executives Forum is focused on sharing great ideas that can either be replicated or repurposed in your business. You’ll hear best practices and ideas worth sharing from diverse speakers from inside and outside of our community. We’ll start the Forum with networking because we know connections made at these events lead to great things.
Your engagement with the Forum ensures that our community, and our local economy continues to grow stronger, better connected and more secure. RSVP nowto [email protected], and please extend the invitation to others in your organization that would benefit from attending.
