IPMA's 2012 Conference Draws Attendees from 35 States
Including Over 50 First-Time Attendees
 IPMA's 2012 Conference (June 24-28) drew nearly 150 in-plant managers from 35 states across the country, as well as outside the U.S. to Kansas City for 4+ days of educational sessions, a vendor fair and unsurpassed networking opportunities. Over a third of in-plant attendees were first-timers.
"In-plant personnel see the need for continuing education and see that need fulfilled through IPMA," explains IPMA's 2012 Conference Chairperson Charlie Tonoff. "IPMA Conferences are full of education, new ideas and the networking opportunities are endless. These conferences add the biggest bang for your buck, bar none! You get to network with all different sectors of business and make helpful, genuine friends for life that will help you succeed in any endeavor."
"The reason I love to attend the IPMA conference is the ability to meet and talk to all the different shop managers around the country. I have tried a couple of other conferences, but there is something about IPMA's that just works and keeps me wanting to come back."
"I can't believe what I get for the money at IPMA's Conference. I've paid twice as much for conferences with half the value ... and it just keeps getting better every year.
Great job! |
