"ACHIEVING OPERATIONS STRENGTH"
Learn, Research, Act and Apply Automation Principles! This year's WBF Conference theme is "Achieving Operations Strength." This is the one annual gathering of automation and operations professionals that gives back 10x the cost of the conference in knowledge and vision. The blend of in-depth technical presentations, practical lessons learned from real projects, networking opportunities with top professionals, and access to knowledge cannot be found in one place anywhere else making this conference a "must attend event". The real bargain of the conference are the five tutorials covering control system security, B2MML, and automation economics as well as in-depth looks at Make-2-Pack and unit-based control. The small intimate groups, lead by industry experts in an interactive format, provides you with a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding and knowledge in these very key areas of automation as well as provide solid tools and visionary insight into promoting operational excellence and strength in your organization. Join us in Austin! You'll find a round-up of well placed individuals and perspectives from end-users, academia and vendors to standards champions to set you on the path of "Achieving Operations Strength."
