Events

MAPP and ARPM’s Young Professionals Networks are excited to host a YP pre-conference session for those attending the conference who are under 40. This professional development program is for industry young professionals looking to grow their network and leadership skills. This 3-hour event will be split into an interactive presentation with Patrick Nelson of Loyalty Point Leadership and a panel of seasoned industry leaders.

Battlefield to Boardroom: Practical Skills to Leading Through Influence with Patrick Nelson

Battlefield to Boardroom is an experience that takes participants on an engaging journey through the challenges and adversity Patrick Nelson has faced. As an “accidental leader,” Patrick seamlessly shares his inspirational stories and brings content to live to help young professionals lead through influence and not control. Practical tips centered around developing skills related to self-management, servant leadership, and forward-looking accountability allow participants to immediately put their action plant to work. This keynote is perfect for young professionals who:

• Show potential to be future leaders in the organization
• Are responsible for driving outcomes and delivering results
• Need practical development opportunities to meet their potential

Attendees will leave this presentation with practical tips to help navigate turbulent times and a clear action plan on how you can implement what you learn at work.

Leadership Panel

A major goal of the Young Professionals Networks is to connect senior leaders in the industry to those that will lead it in the future. MAPP and ARPM have invited 3 executives to come and share their experiences and difficult lessons gained throughout their time managing in manufacturing. The conversation will delve in leadership, delegation, giving critical feedback, culture-shifts, and more.
