Meetings and plant tours

Members meet three times a year: two facility visits with plant tours hosted by member companies, and an annual fall meeting.

How it works

A year of meetings

February facility visit

A member company hosts the meeting at its facility, including a tour of the plant.

May facility visit

A second member-hosted meeting and plant tour each spring.

Annual fall meeting

The annual fall meeting at a resort destination—typically four or five days, with invited speakers and open discussion among members.
