Strength in Numbers - 2012 AMBA Convention
"Strength in Numbers" is the theme for the 2012 AMBA Convention, May 16-18, 2012, in Grand Rapids, MI. According to AMBA Executive Director Troy Nix, "It is our goal to make this convention the best format in America for executives to learn how to improve the profitability of their moldmaking operations. The convention will be anchored in best practices information and data derived from leading-edge manufacturing surveys and operational assessments." The May convention is where members will hear the results of AMBA's new first quarter benchmarking initiatives, delivered by the industry's foremost experts and analysts. The content of this convention is driven to identify and correlate profitability to operational behaviors, market choices and more!

Best practices also will take a front seat at the convention, as all attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a plant tour workshop as part of the programming in the afternoon on the second day. These carefully designed plant tour workshops provide an excellent opportunity for participants to share best practices in a 'give and take' environment that offers phenomenal value to both the participant and the host company, because the take away from these tour events has been so rich in value, we have decided to incorporate this unique learning exchange into our convention - providing attendees a convention experience like none other!
