A special report from Heat Treat Today publisher, Doug Glenn.
Chad Spore, materials engineering supervisor for John Deere, addressed the assembled guests of the International ThermProcess Summit, in Buckhead, Georgia, on the first day of the event, Tuesday, July 31, 2018. The presentation, which included encouragements to other manufacturers with in-house heat treating as well as industry suppliers to continue to innovate, was received with great interest by the nearly 100 attendees at this 2nd biennial event.
The attendees also enjoyed an excellent presentation from Omar Nashashibi. Mr. Nashashibi, as a-politically as possible, presented an excellent perspective on the first years of the Trump Administration. Whether you like Trump or not, Mr. Nashashibi made it clear that Trump was doing something that no other president has done in quite some time — he’s fulfilling all of his campaign promises to one degree or another. It was a balanced presentation with many positives and negatives.
The two-day event concludes today with keynote speaker and event emcee, Dr. Amber Selking of the Selking Performance Group, giving a presentation on “Driving Consistent Performance Excellence.”
The event, sponsored by the Industrial Heating Equipment Association (IHEA), and supported by media sponsors Industrial Heating and Heat Treat Today, featured an impressive lineup of speakers and was well received by attendees.
