"PIE is a new trend in private trade shows where attendees have premium one-on-one exclusive time (by appointment only) with nationally recognized vendors. No selling occurs, just answers to your manufacturing concerns." — Hal Shackelford, Sherwin-Williams Company
"Interested on how to protect your Property against loss while maintaining or increasing production? Looking for ways on how to save on property insurance costs while maintaining coverage limits? Come and join LUA for the PIE event to obtain our cost-saving advice." — Steven Ottenbrite, Lumbermen's Underwriting Alliance
Productivity Information Exchange (PIE) is a one-day information exchange designed for manufacturers of moulding and millwork in a "sales free" atmosphere. Attendees sign up for a series of 45-minute private consultations from key vendors to the moulding and millwork industry to gain knowledge in order to make informed decisions regarding operations. The event is designed to complement the Moulding Association's Production Series for Millwork Manufacturers — it will be long on information and short on the sales pitch.
CURRENT PIE EXPERTS AND TOPICS: 3M - Industrial Abrasives; Arauco Wood Products - Raw Material Supply; C.S. Industries - Moisture Meters; Lumbermen's Underwriting Alliance - Insurance; ISIS Wood Product Solutions - Softward Solutions; Bernard Weiss, Consulting - How to Export; Sherwin Williams Company - Coatings; Stiles Machinery - Equipment; Tara Taffera, DWM/Shelter Magazine - How to Market Your Company; Valspar - Coatings; Vigilant - Human Resources; Weinig Group - Equipment
THIS IS NOT A TRADE SHOW — IT IS A UNIQUE INFORMATION GATHERING EVENT
As an example, a manufacturer seeking detailed information on moulder set-up or requires an equipment needs assessment may opt to sign up for appointments with Stiles Machinery and Weinig Group. During the private meetings, the manufacturer's list of topics, questions or concerns submitted in advance of the event to the vendor companies will be addressed. This is a unique opportunity for the attendee to outline their day of education by directly tailoring it to their needs. Appointments will be scheduled between the hours of 7:30AM and 5:30PM on a first come, first served basis.
Regular PIE registration costs $350.00 per person ending February 17, 2012 and includes lunch and a 1-hour PIE reception. Late PIE registration, $500.00 per person, ends March 2, 2012. No registrations will be accepted after March 2, 2012 for this event without verbal approval by the MMPA staff.
Non-member manufacturers interested in playing in the WM® Golf Scramble, participating in the Lotto Dinner or attending the full MMPA's 49th Winter Business Meeting may register for additional fees. Full meeting registration includes PIE participation.
