Show features two separate tracks of seminars during three-day run
Hartland, Wisconsin . . . Equipment funding. Controlling energy costs. Improving production. Aerospace work. Stimulus funding. All are hot topics in the manuafcturing industry because they are critical to the success of a business. And, all of these topics – and more – will be presented in a schedule of free seminars at the 11th Wisconsin Machine Tool Show.
This year, the seminars will be presented in two separate tracks: A business track focusing on tips of the trade to improve business and production, and an energy track focusing on new sources of energy and funding. Each hour-long seminar is free for registered show attendees. All are presented by experts in their field of knowledge.
According to Show Manager Jay Partington, the free seminars continue to be a huge benefit for those that attend. “The 2009 slate of presentations are lifted right from the front pages of both traditional and electronic news services,” he says. “They are topical, timely and, most of all, will provide solutions to the attendees.”
The Wisconsin Machine Tool Show is one of the largest metalworking shows in the country and will be held October 6-8, 2009 at the Wisconsin Exposition Center at Wisconsin State Fair Park, Milwaukee, Wis. Exhibits will be open on Tuesday, Oct. 6 from 9:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m., Wed. Oct. 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Thurs., Oct. 8 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
