3 WHO ELSE SHOULD ATTEND THE SUPPLY CHAIN SUMMIT SERIES? The sessions for each of the Supply Chain Summits will educate your internal teams, but also focus on supplier requirements. We encourage all companies to extend the invitation to their supply chains specifically to suppliers that would benefit from enhanced education surrounding regulatory requirements. PREVIOUS ATTENDEES HAVE INCLUDED: Directors of conflict mineral programs Product compliance and strategic products program managers Environmental product compliance professionals General counsel Project managers Compliance engineers Supply chain program managers Boris Kamstra s keynote presentation really reminded me why proper conflict mineral due diligence is so significant on a global scale. It s easy to lose sight of why conflict mineral regulation compliance is so important, but the presentation really drove home why I do what I do, and why this work matters. I left the conference feeling inspired. JILL OTHOUDT, PENTAIR The Supply Chain Summit Series was a rare occasion where I forced myself to push the pause button on everything going on at the office so I could really focus on the conference. The series offered me relevant information in a manner that I haven t found anywhere else. The knowledge I gained was well worth the backlog of s that accumulated while I was out of office. Choosing to attend was a valuable investment of my time. BEN GROSS, MICROCHIP
