Presenting ARC's Fifteenth Annual Orlando Forum
ARC World Industry Forum: Driving Innovation, Sustainability, and Performance
February 7-10, 2011 - Orlando, Florida
Industrialization in emerging regions and revitalization of aging infrastructure are fueling a new wave of capital investment around the world. IT and other technologies are enabling organizations to become smarter, more collaborative, and more integrated with their customers and supply chains. We are in the midst of an era with huge opportunities – and huge challenges – for industrial companies. Excellence in every aspect of business is vital for growth and survival.
Excellence cannot be achieved in isolation; it requires perfect execution, agility, and collaboration across key functional areas like IT, engineering, operations, and maintenance. A business cannot remain static and survive; innovation must also be a priority. New business models, products, processes, and production techniques can enhance the value proposition for every business in every industry.
At the same time, the need to reduce costs, reduce risk, reduce project cycle time, reduce energy use, and reduce carbon footprint remain key challenges facing every company. And managers are being tasked to address these issues with fewer people, smaller budgets, limited visibility, and little tolerance for risk.
ARC's World Industry Forum focuses on all of these challenges and can help you develop winning strategies. It provides the ideal environment for industry executives to collaborate, share ideas, and find new ways to attack their most pressing problems. The event includes sessions on the major issues facing our industry, with multiple tracks that enable executives to explore these topics from different perspectives. Owner/operators, solution providers, and technical experts will all benefit from this experience while simultaneously contributing to the community’s body of knowledge.
Here is a list of programs being planned at this forum:
