2028 Spring Meeting
Set along Florida’s stunning Gulf Coast, Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa delivers the perfect combination of high-impact business strategy and resort-style escape—making it an exceptional destination for the 2028 MTI Spring Meeting, August 20–22.
Picture this: mornings spent diving into the most pressing issues shaping the future of heat treating to navigate the road to 2030—followed by afternoons unwinding in a world-class setting designed to recharge your energy and sharpen your thinking.
Float down the resort’s lazy river. Connect with peers over poolside conversations. Step onto a private boat shuttle to pristine Gulf beaches. Or tee off on nearby championship courses. Every moment outside the meeting room becomes an opportunity to build relationships that matter and have the kind of conversations that move your business forward.
But the real value? It’s the environment.
When you step away from the noise of daily operations, something powerful happens. You gain perspective. You think more strategically. You engage more deeply with other industry leaders who are facing the same challenges—and discovering new ways to win.
Just minutes away, the energy of nearby Naples offers incredible dining, waterfront experiences, and the perfect extension for a professional development + family getaway your team will actually look forward to.
The 2028 MTI Spring Meeting at Bonita Springs isn’t just a meeting—it’s a strategic reset in a setting built for connection, clarity, and forward-thinking leadership.
Mark your calendar for August 20–22 now. The decisions you make—and the relationships you build—during these three days could shape the next decade of your company’s success.
