ts not just the customized trade show and advantageous networking opportunities that make SGIAs 2008 Membrane Switch Symposium (St. Paul, Minnesota; June 3-5) a must-attend for the membrane switch community.
The symposium also will include an educational session program featuring key distributors, suppliers and manufacturers, who will discuss the cutting-edge changes in the membrane switch marketplace, including:
Die-cutting technologies
Automation, lean manufacturing and membrane switch assembly
Laser cutting operations
“Im anxious to attend and see what comes from the educational program,” said symposium speaker Joe Sampair, Sales Manager for symposium exhibitor Mathias Die Co. “The symposium is a great opportunity to learn the latest and network with the decision makers in the membrane switch industry.”
The symposium held this year at the Crowne Plaza St. Paul-Riverfront hotel features a full day of educational sessions as well as an industry-specific trade show, welcome buffet dinner and golf outing.
“To have such a focused event like this one is very beneficial to our industry, because were often so immersed in our jobs that we dont know all thats going on,” said symposium speaker Neil Bolding, Technical Marketing Manager for exhibitor MacDermid Autotype Inc.
“Everyone in our industry is looking for ways to produce faster, better and cheaper, and I think the [symposiums] topics are geared toward helping them find ideas for improving their bottom lines.”
Attendees also can see how membrane switch technology is evolving by taking part in two plant tours to state-of-the-art facilities of symposium exhibitors Sefar Printing Solutions Inc. and 3M.
