Lean is for everyone!
Join us for this one-day conference on September 27, 2023. Our goal is to educate and inspire you as you discover the power of Lean processes.
At this event, attendees will be able to choose from a variety of breakout sessions covering everything from DE&I, IT, strategy deployment, brainstorming techniques and more. Network with peers who are facing similar challenges and learn from the best in the business!
Our local industry experts hail from top organizations like GiANT Secura, Wabash, Medtronic, and more. Be inspired by J2 Integrity Solutions, Elkay Interior Systems International, ADM, Unicorn Recruitment & Career Services, and Learning to Lean.
Choose from two great tracks!
Hands On Track
These sessions offer you the ability not only to learn about a Lean tool/concept, but to gain actual experience USING the tool! This isn't your normal boring conference lecture experience! Gain the understanding and hands on application of using a tool/concept in a "safe" environment where you can learn from others and ask questions!
Application Track
Are you interested in learning from others about their Lean journey? These sessions will provide insight and knowledge from industry experts on how Lean concepts were a game changer for each of them and their organizations. Learn from individuals in HR, IT, Healthcare and Supply Chain (just to name a few!)
