The summit features a robust agenda focused on building leadership capability and operational excellence. Attendees will gain practical tools and forward‑looking strategies through sessions that include:
- How to Start a Mentoring Program – Guidance for developing structured mentorship initiatives that strengthen talent pipelines and enhance employee growth.
- Tech Adoption for Maintenance Roles – Insights on modern technologies that streamline maintenance operations and boost plant efficiency.
- Data‑Driven Customer Experience – Strategies for leveraging data to improve service quality and customer satisfaction.
- Workplace Safety Enhancements – Best practices for ensuring a culture of safety across all shifts and functions.
- Modernizing Your Facility – Approaches to upgrading equipment, workflow and plant design to support long‑term competitiveness.
A highlight of the event will be a CEO Panel featuring local industry leaders who will share lessons learned, discuss market trends and offer unique executive perspectives on navigating today’s evolving challenges.
The summit also will include facilitated roundtable discussions, allowing participants to choose specific topics they want to explore more deeply with peers. These small‑group exchanges encourage practical problem-solving, candid dialogue and collaborative learning tailored to attendees’ most pressing operational needs.
“The Midwest Regional Summit gives leaders a powerful opportunity to connect, learn and return to their facilities equipped with actionable strategies that drive stronger performance,” said Salita Jones, TRSA’s director of education and events. “We designed this event to take place in a major Midwest city so attendees can easily access a full day of information‑sharing while minimizing time away from their plants. Our goal is to deliver relevant, high‑value education to regional members in a setting that encourages connection, collaboration and shared growth.”
