Stiles EBC planned for St. Paul, Minn. in April 2011

Stiles Machinery Inc. announced its ninth Executive Briefing Conference (EBC) will take place April 10-12, 2011 at the 3M Innovation Center in St. Paul, Minn.
Since its inception in 2002, the EBC has become a venue for manufacturing executives to network and explore new ways to succeed by answering the questions, “what’s now, what’s new and what’s next?” With the EBC location at the 3M Innovation Center, the 2011 theme will also focus on innovation. The opening keynote address, given by John Brandt of the MPI Group, will provide specific recommendations to prepare for “next generation manufacturing.” Alan Beaulieu will offer his insights on the latest economic trends as the closing keynote speaker. The briefing topics include innovative strategies in areas such as research, product development, technology and niche markets, as well as offering case studies that highlight key innovations across the country.
Registration for the EBC can be done online at an “early bird” rate of $995, including hotel accommodations, all meals, and tours of 3M’s World of Innovation and Center for Abrasive Materials (CAM).
