SGIA Takes Membrane Switch Marketplace to St. Paul

Friday 25. January 2008 - Symposium features top-notch education, plant tours, trade show & networking

Membrane switch businesses will have the chance to kick their profit potential into hyperdrive with SGIA’s Membrane Switch Symposium (St. Paul, Minnesota; June 3-5, 2008).

The symposium — held this year at the Crowne Plaza St. Paul-Riverfront hotel — is the only event tailored to the membrane switch community, offering a specialized trade show, informative sessions on the industry’s latest trends and technologies, networking opportunities and unique plant tours.

“This year’s symposium offers even more sales strategies for membrane switch producers,” said Dutch Drehle, SGIA’s Senior Technical Associate. “They’ll have access to the leading suppliers and manufacturers in the industry as well as the processes and technologies shaping this niche market.”

Attendees also have the chance to get an inside look at two plant facilities for membrane switch suppliers Sefar Printing and 3M.

To foster interaction with key players in the industry, the Membrane Switch Symposium features numerous networking events, including a golf outing and dinner buffet.

“The symposium is a nice way to gather information,” said a past attendee. “Compared with a trade show, it’s more manageable and personal.” The symposium also is the only venue in which membrane switch companies can compete in SGIA’s Golden Image Awards competition.
