Make plans to join us for the 2010 Oklahoma Conference on Manufacturing and Executive Lean Summit. The events are scheduled for Monday, Sept. 20 and Tuesday, Sept. 21 at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center in Norman. We’re in a terrific new venue and looking forward to another great informational and educational program. It’s our state’s most important gathering of manufacturing professionals, giving everyone a chance to learn from one another and set the agenda for economic growth and development.

Tuesday’s Conference will feature nationally-recognized speakers and a plethora of informative workshops, including sessions on new markets, management plans, employee development, and tax incentives. Dr. Richard Schonberger, one of the country’s top authorities on manufacturing and Lean culture, will address the audience during his luncheon address. Read about him here.

In addition to our traditional Tuesday conference, we have added a unique Monday summit with Dr. Schonberger. This event is specifically designed as a small gathering for owners, executive management, and top-level decision makers. It is an opportunity to have personal interaction with the man who originated the concepts behind, “World Class Manufacturing.”  Space is limited because of the nature of this event.

Register online for either or both events at http://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?eventid=877480. You’ll also find a full agenda and more information on specific workshops.
