Dear Industry Members,
I would like to cordially invite you to FMA’s Annual Meeting in Nashville on March 5-7, 2019. This is an unparalleled opportunity to connect with other contract manufacturers, job shops, OEMs, metal producers, processors, and distributors.
I moved to Nashville from Chicago 11 years ago. It was a sleepy little city back then, but boy has that changed! A few years ago this town became an “It City” — and for good reason. Not only does it have low taxes and a business-friendly local government, it’s full of young people here for tech, logistics, music, and more. Plus, we still have a strong auto industry and everything that goes with that. When you visit, you’ll see heavy investment in infrastructure projects with the nations’ second fastest real estate appreciation. If I sound pumped, it’s because I am.
The FMA staff has prepared an amazing lineup. Throughout the three action-packed days you will:
- Gain impactful insights from topnotch speakers who will share market trends on the horizon.
- Participate in interactive panel discussions and peer-to-peer roundtables exploring topics like advanced high strength materials, automation, disruptive technologies, robotics, workforce development, and much more.
- Develop and deepen business relationships at networking events that showcase the best the city has to offer in atmosphere and Southern hospitality.
Book your room at The Westin, which is a second to none meeting site right in the middle of all the action on Broadway and SoBro. Our room block is a great deal (FMA’s discounted rate of $269/night is available until Feb. 1, 2019). Get your spot booked before we fill up, and I’ll see you soon in the Music City.
