In addition, information on new and innovative technologies that can improve industrial productivity will be presented.
To encourage networking and sharing of ideas amongst co-ops, there will be breakout discussions with conference attendees where they will have the opportunity to talk about their needs, the challenges they face, and what they have found that does and does not work.
