The conference agenda represents speakers from manufacturing, healthcare, education, small business, government, and private industry, discussing the challenges and hot topics relevant to today’s workforce. Individuals at the beginning of their career and those in management will benefit from the diverse perspectives offered throughout the event.
“The annual gathering is a fantastic opportunity for like-minded individuals to focus on the achievement of excellence in their personal professional development, as well as identifying strategies for the teams and greater organizations they serve,” said David Boulay, IMEC President. “The speakers this year represent the industry experts that understand these improvement strategies, can demonstrate successful implementation, and the required analysis of results to ensure sustainable competitive futures for all attendees.”
The keynote session is titled “The Customer Mission – Why the key to growth isn’t about you” and will be facilitated by Andrea Olson, CEO of Prag’madik, a Customer-Facing Operational Strategy Consultancy.
