As imX has evolved from a concept that pre-dates the Big Recession to a reality that will be upon us in just five months, there have been two primary goals. The first is that imX is about collaboration over competition. The second is that imX is about the quality and not the quantity of attendees.
It has been apparent for quite some time that this event has succeeded on the collaborative angle. From AMTDA and SME joining forces in 2008 to create and execute this “event like no other”, to the commitment of our eight eXperience Partners -- DMG/Mori Seiki U.S.A., FANUC, Kennametal, MAG IAS LLC, Makino, Methods Machine Tools, Okuma America and Sandvik Coromant – we have collaboration down pat.
What we couldn’t know for sure, however, is whether imX truly would attract the high-level industry leaders from across the nation.
Well, the results are now coming in. Having issued only a fraction of the invitations planned for imX, we can confirm that our forecasts were accurate. The first 1,000 eXecutive Guests not only come from 40 different states, they are proving to be the high-level executives for whom imX was developed. Here’s just a sampling of the titles we’re seeing:
· President
· Director of Operations
· Director of Product Innovations
· Director of Manufacturing
· General Manager
· Plant Manager
· VP of Manufacturing
· CEO
· Owner
· VP of Operations and Projects
· Director of Engineering
· Chief Estimator
So it’s clear that we’re on to something with this “event-like-no-other” model. Come September 12-14, the Las Vegas Convention Center will be where industry leaders come together to move manufacturing forward.
Will you be part of the effort?
Welcome to imX. We look forward to your feedback.
Steve Prahalis, eXperience manager
