| NASF Washington Forum: An Overwhelming Success
Attendees called last
week's Washington Forum "one of the best yet!" With nearly 100
participants and over 20 expert speakers, the program focused on
strategic issues and immediate priorities for finishing operations and
companies in the finishing supply chain.
What did participants
take away from the Forum? See some of the feedback below...
"As a new member to
NASF, I am very impressed with the quality of the information at the
Forum. I look forward to getting more involved."
"Attending the NASF
Forum is one of the best investments I will make this
year."
"This was a great
meeting. I was hesitant to attend because time away from the shop...I
was able to come back to my shop with ideas learned from other owners. I
took back practical ideas that will save my shop money."
"I am guilty of not
being involved, but I am very happy I came."
"It is imperative to
learn the issues that affect my business and the industry early on to
develop strategies to take on the changing regulatory and political
climate."
If you missed it, plan on coming next year, or attend
SUR/FIN to hear more discussion on critical issues raised at the
Forum:
- Nickel regulation & European Union REACH
mandates;
- New USEPA action plans targeting fume suppressants in
finishing;
- Sweeping chemicals regulatory changes emerging in the
U.S. Congress;
- Strategies to shape the future of U.S. manufacturing and
surface finishing;
- Sustainability considerations for surface technology;
and much more...
