Annual Indirect-MRO Group Conference
The 10th Annual Indirect-MRO Group Conference will be held on September 24-25, 2007 at the Wyndham Hotel in Chicago. The Indirect-MRO group is an affiliate of the Institute for Supply Management . This is important for two reasons.
First, Joel Thomas is the conference chair and he does a great job. Joel is a friend of mine from way back and was an active member of a board of advisors that I assembled during my Web 1.0 days at the late PurchasingCenter.com. I’ve participated in conferences that Joel has produced and he couples great speakers with an active and participative audience. This is a solid event with a great lineup of speakers.
Second, I strongly support these ISM groups and hope you will also. The commitment of the leadership of these groups is great, really catering to the educational needs of their members. These are not fluff events, but solid educational opportunities that are very well priced. I was a board member of the former Electronics Group and I’m a current board member of the Materials Management Group . The quarterly newsletter is a great resource of information and available for free download.
