Four education tracks
There arefour education tracksthis year: maintenance, employee development, safety and grain operations.
Attendees may choose to focus on one track or sample them all. The tracks are planned so attendees may participate in all the sessions in one track OR mix-and-match the four throughout the conference.
This education lineup was designed to help keep workers safe, improve efficiency and product quality and inspire innovation. Nate Tostenson with GEAPS’ Minneapolis chapter, who serves on the Exchange Educational Programming Committee (EPC), said he’s excited about everything the team has been working on for attendees.
“作为一个准会员,我的目标是为成员to walk away from Exchange more educated and with a handful of problem-solving ideas they can bring back to their facilities to increase uptime and decrease downtime,” said Tostenson. “It’s not always about the sale. Regular members are our friends. We want them to succeed.”
Finally, Exchange will end on a fun note during the Closing Celebration withStrongman Eric Moss, who is sure to empower and astonish as he folds frying pans, breaks cinderblocks and speaks about the power in all of us.
