MTI’s Spring Meeting, to be held in Bermuda at the amazing Fairmont Southampton Resort on April 6 – 8, will bring the hottest topics on heat treating owner’s and executive’s minds. The Southampton Resort will be the perfect location for MTI members coming out of freezing cold winter temperatures. Perched on Bermuda’s stunning south shore, with miles of pink sandy beaches, the luxurious Fairmont Southampton, Bermuda Beach Resort sits on nearly 100 acres, dotted with lush bougainvillea and towering coconut palms.
MTI’s Program Committee, made up of a dozen heat treaters and suppliers, worked through surveys and input from other members to design an educational program that would answer questions and offer solutions in some key areas of any heat treating company including:
- What will be the impact of the election of Donald Trump mean to manufacturing?
- Will a Republican controlled Congress and Presidency be manufacturing friendly?
- What will policy look like for taxation, energy, healthcare, and trade in the coming years?
- What will heat treat sales forecasts look like over the next 3 years?
- Which industries will drive increased sales in heat treating?
- What do forecasts look like for the key industries heat treaters serve?
- How will legalizing marijuana impact our drug-free workplace?
- Do we need to change our HR and testing policies to deal with legalized marijuana?
- How do we deal with the increase of workplace violence?
- What will an effective workplace violence prevention policy look like?
- How will additive manufacturing impact heat treating?
- Where will additive manufacturing eliminate or create the need for heat treating processes?
- What other emerging technologies should my company be concerned about that will minimize the need for the heat treating process?
- What forces are driving change in order to compete in the new digital economy?
- How do I make the necessary changes in my company to leverage all the changes coming our way?
MTI is excited to host, as our featured speaker, Dan Heath, best-selling author of the book Switch…How to Make Change When Change is Hard.
