AMT Industry Statistical Forum 09/13/2012, 7:30 AM - 9:30 AM

Chicago, IL
McCormick Place South Hall - Room S-501

Coffee. Croissants. Data.

Most manufacturers are well-equipped to run their production operations using proven, time-tested strategies that rely on measurable, quantitative data. But what about strategic planning, sales & marketing, and business development? Where does the data come from and what can you do with it?

If you run a company by the numbers, or report to someone that does, there’s no such thing as too much information.

• Can you size the market for your products? How specific are those numbers?
• How are your customers performing, and where are the best prospects for new sales?

Maybe you already have that data, or maybe you never knew it existed. Either way, having data is only half the battle.

• What are the tools for getting the most out of this data?
• Do you need special skills or software to manipulate and present data like a pro?

Join AMT and your data-minded peers from the industry for breakfast, and learn about specific sources for data on manufacturing technology, how to get the most out of them, and what’s next for business data.

Registration is FREE, but space is limited -- be sure to click on the link to your right! It only takes a minute! See you in Chicago!
