This year's theme — BE EXTRAORDINARY — is designed to inspire, motivate, and educate processors on how to positively influence the people around them. Becoming better is not something that just happens; good leaders continually work to make themselves better, and the 2018 Benchmarking & Best Practices Conference will do just that!
The goal of the Benchmarking and Best Practices Conference is to help plastics companies improve their operations and tactics in order to impact bottom-line profits. The conference is anchored with best practices and leading benchmark presentations derived from the industry’s best-known sources of statistical information. Known as the absolute best benchmarks in the industry, these presentations identify and correlate profitability to operational behaviors, market choices and more.
The ability to quickly adjust to marketplace conditions and continually improve operational efficiencies is a must in manufacturing. The core of this year’s Benchmarking and Best Practices conference will address leadership, operational best practices, the latest financial benchmarks, sales and marketing, and the impact of employees on the bottom-line. With over 600 plastics professionals expected to meet in Indianapolis, IN, on October 10-12, the Conference staff has created a schedule packed with best practices, leading-edge benchmarks, expert presentations and the best networking opportunities in the industry.
This year's theme - BE EXTRAORDINARY - is designed to inspire, motivate and educate processors on how to continuously improve every day. Becoming better is not something that just happens; good leaders continually work to make themselves better, and the 2018 Benchmarking & Best Practices Conference will do just that!

Alan Hobson was a member of three self-guided, self-organized and corporately sponsored $500,000 expeditions to the world’s tallest peak, Mt. Everest. His first expedition missed the summit by 3,000 vertical feet and his second by just two city blocks. Finally, on his third expedition, Hobson and almost half his team made it safely to and from the top of the world. But Mt. Everest was not his toughest climb. Three years after standing on the highest physical point on Earth, he was diagnosed with the very aggressive blood cancer, acute leukemia, and given less than a year to live. Today, he is one of a scant dozen survivors in the world ever to have regained an elite level of fitness after an adult blood stem cell transplant for the treatment of leukemia. That’s a tiny fraction of the number of people who have climbed Mt. Everest.
