AMT Online - 2008 Global Forecasting & Marketing Conference

Every year AMT strives to provide companies with the insight needed to be successful in a changing market place. By bringing together industry experts, forecasts, and marketing information, companies are better able to gauge the current market conditions as well as how the market may look in the future.

You will hear presentations of noted economists speaking about our industry. These will be combined with speakers—some of them your peers, others your customers—with ideas on how to enhance your sales in a shrinking market, the outlook of the auto industry, how to take advantage of the globalization process, plus other subjects of critical importance in today’s business crunch.

2008 Forecasting Package for AMT Members: AMT members attending the 2008 Global Forecasting & Marketing Conference will also receive access to all of the forecasts from the 2009 AMT Regional Meetings, Oxford Economics’ Mid-Year Update Webinar, and DeWolf Associate’s quarterly machine tool forecast.

Registration is limited to 230 on a first-come basis.
