Information overload?
I've spent the better part of the last few months traveling around to all the industry meetings and conferences, and I must admit that I was a bit concerned that I would start hearing the same information over and over again. But I've been pleasantly surprised. From events offered by Packaging Strategies to AIMCAL to RadTech and others, I've found that the converting and packaging industries are so dynamic that professionals must take advantage of all these educational opportunities to remain competitive and knowledgeable. So whether you are seeking insight in a particular area of technology or simply a better understanding of the business of converting and packaging, industry events remain the place to be.
As CMM approaches, I feel confident that the comprehensive conference program together with a wide variety of exhibitors and this year's new Technology Centers (which will feature running equipment on the show floor producing live jobs in a true integrated production environment) will equip attendees with the information and skills needed to succeed in the market. Since acquiring CMM about a year and a half ago, we've worked really hard to re-focus the event and restore it to its strong position of many years ago. Working closely with most of the key publications and associations in the converting market, we have put the industry's most important event back on track and are excited about the overwhelmingly positive feedback we have received.
Having said that, I know that there is always room for improvement, and I invite you to contact me with any suggestions you have. I'm sure I'll see you all at CMM in Chicago in June!
