The symposium will offer three different presentation tracks to fit multiple SPI interests.  Attendees will choose from 18 different presentations given by field experts with practical advice for both beginners and more advanced SPI professionals.

“We are very excited to be co-hosting this event again,” said George Mitwasi, President of SMS, “Process improvement continues to be a hot topic and we are proud to be able to help facilitate this learning and networking event for SPI professionals.”
