I wrote the first draft of this article, read it, then slapped myself awake and realized...who better to tell the story than those who experienced it? So, here are comments about the overall conference and some sessions shared with us through anonymous evaluations:
Learning to work with others in the Escape Room.
“Had a great time, good networking, helped my team build better relationships and some good information to bring back to work.”
“I loved the conference. It was my first time and I look forward to returning.”
“Very well organized and presented. A fantastic experience, fantastic hotel! Very impressed.”
“Lots of good insights and reminders to take back home.”
“We’ve been applying GD&T wrong. Glad we came to this.”
Technical member exhibits.
“Tons of great ideas! I filled two pages of notes just in one session!”
“I am new to this industry and learned a lot.”
“Useful information on how to approach costs per machine. Will definitely look closely into this when returning to work!”
“Tons of good information to think about.”
“I had a great time, learned a lot and really look forward to coming every year.”
Save the Date! PMPA’s National Technical Conference 2023 will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, at the Huntington Cleveland Convention Center, April 16-18, with the Precision Machining Technology Show (PMTS) following in the Convention Center on April 18-20!
