This business conference will offer specific advice, information and actionable intelligence to leaders of Western U.S. manufacturing firms about how to recruit, motivate, manage, train and retain your most valuable resources – your employees. Tap into the knowledge of experts, hear successful case studies, meet potential partners and uncover resources to help you find and nurture talent.

Topics will include an how to find funding for staff training, an employment law update (to include healthcare reform, immigration, hiring, wages and discrimination), trends in the contingent labor market, how to measure profitability per  employee, tapping the veterans talent pipeline, social media recruiting, insights on the competitive advantage of becoming an employer of choice, and more. Also network with educators and learn where you can engage with the students who will comprise tomorrow's workforce. A high-powered panel will discuss the real-life manufacturing challenges of operating in the West, and best practices to help ensure success.

This information will help you to do your job better – whether you are a company owner, CEO, president or manager at any level, to include HR professionals, plant managers or other types of supervisors. We will draw speakers, exhibitors and attendees from local resources, to include plastics processors and suppliers with operations in the West, as well as trade associations, community colleges, trainers and consultants – from Seattle to San Diego.
