Stephen Gold, President and CEO, MAPI on Thought Leadership and the Executive Summit
CEOs and other C-level executives from medium and large global manufacturers will meet in Chicago, IL, on May 15-17, 2013, for the MAPI Executive Summit, Building Tomorrow’s Solutions Today. The event will feature best practice sharing on a variety of critical issues, including innovation, growth strategy, talent management, and enterprise risk management, among others. Nationally renowned keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and peer interaction in a collegial setting will help attendees find answers and identify solutions to important challenges in the global landscape.
MAPI’s goal is to have attendees leave with a strategic vision…a creative road map...a way forward, and armed with answers to an increasingly complex world of corporate challenges.
Navigating Uncharted Waters
With growth slowing around the world and an uncertain business climate, there have never been higher demands placed on senior leaders from manufacturing organizations. Risks are increasingly global and difficult to mitigate. Customers are more focused than ever on ROI. And the workforce is truly global, with generation gaps growing wider every day. Many of the challenges you face as a leader are cross-functional, global, and incredibly complex. They aren’t limited to one silo.
Connecting with the Best Thinking
MAPI is assembling its first-ever Executive Summit on May 15-17, 2013 at Chicago's Peninsula Hotel. The Summit will bring together leaders from a broad range of functions and disciplines, connecting attendees with the freshest thinking (and best practices) available on the business challenges of today and tomorrow.
Delivering Real Value
Developed in consultation with the members of our 26 councils, the Summit will deliver cutting-edge insights on the toughest issues facing manufacturers. The agenda will feature interactive sessions for senior executives on:
- Leadership in uncertain times
- Management best practices
- Risks and opportunities in the global economy
