Conference Objectives

Small and mid-size suppliers – machine shops, special processors, assemblers, and more – are particularly affected by the industry consolidation and global competition. We’re competing against a variety of competitors for less business with changing customer expectations. We have to set our sights on more than survival.

• Learn from suppliers about how to successfully compete and win new market share         
• Learn from customers about what it takes to win new business in the new supply chain         
• Learn from industry leaders about how to adapt to the new aerospace competition
