Innovation is happening all the time and the marketplace always comes up with ways of keeping us on our toes.   This year's Summit has been designed to focus on the most pressing issues and marketplace opportunities facing equipment suppliers and moldmakers now.   Among the discussions you'll be a part of: new payment options and the growth of cryptocurrencies; the latest in cyber security; identifying and dealing with the sources of workplace issues; how to make Corporate Social Responsibility a beneficial part of your business plan; options for mitigating supply chain and logistics challenges.   There will also, of course, be important council and committee business to conduct and plenty of time to connect with old friends while making new connections with professionals from inside and outside the association.   We look forward to seeing you there!
