Sponsorships
This Conference is about competing & winning in the Global Marketplace. Our sponsors provide financial assistance to extend the value of this Conference which, for the third time in 25 years, is held in Covington, Kentucky, the south side of Cincinnati.
As global competitiveness is about infrastructure vs. infrastructure competition, it is essential that we help each other drive excellence and Best Practices into our organizations. With your support, this designed-for-team-participation program will better equip our people and our companies to take on the world's best and win. For this reason, some of the sponsorship funds will go to bring shop and office floor staff to present their contributions, in order for us all to hear the full story - as well as to provide features and events that would not have been possible. We look forward to discussing your support.
