MESA International Announces 2014 North American Conference


Event to be held in conjunction with IndustryWeek Best Plants 2014 Conference.

 

 

CHANDLER, ARIZ., December 10, 2013 -  As recently announced yesterday, MESA International is once again the Title Sponsor of IndustryWeek's Best Plants conference. IW Best Plants 2014 is set for May 5 - 7, 2014 in Milwaukee, WI, USA and marks the second straight year MESA has been the event's Title Sponsor. As such, MESA will play a vital role at the IW event - moderating the 'Manufacturing Technology Strategies' track, exhibiting in the Solutions Hall, introducing keynote speakers, and bringing the MESA community to Milwaukee.

 

MESA will also hold its own NA Conference in conjunction with the IW event - offering a MESA Global Education Program course, four unConference sessions, networking opportunities, and multiple speakers throughout the event.  Members and friends of MESA qualify for discounted registration and exhibition rates for IW Best Plants and can also sponsor the MESA NA Conference directly.

  

"MESA knows the significant financial and operational gains companies can realize by understanding the role of modern Information Technologies in their production operations," said Mike Yost, MESA President. "We encourage the entire MESA community to join our NA Conference to contribute to these important conversations shaping the industry and to demonstrate the value of knowing what MESA knows with the broader IndustryWeek audience."

 

Full conference details including MESA agenda items and all sponsor and exhibitor options available through MESA are available at conference.mesa.org.
