What We Are Looking For & Suggested Topics
IFE 2023 is on the hunt for new, innovative, and fresh topics to add to our Conference lineup! We are looking for sessions built around both technical expertise as well as the most up-to-date data, trends, technologies, and proven approaches to help fastener professionals expand their knowledge and solve challenges in the industry. Suggested topics include:
- Applications
- Business Operations
- Distribution
- Health and Safety, Environment and Sustainability
- Inventory Control and Management
- People and Leadership (HR, Culture, DEI, Talent Acquisition, Training and Development, etc.)
- Production
- Regulations, Trades and Tariff Policies
- Sales and Marketing, E-Commerce/Digital Retailing
- Sourcing
- Supply Chain
- Technology (Trends in 3D Technology, Integrating Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity)
- Tooling and Machinery
All topics must be strictly educational and provide actionable ideas. Promotional content related to an individual’s product, company, and/or services violates the conference’s “no-pitch” policy.
What’s Included with an IFE Speaking Engagement
If selected as an IFE 2023 speaker, you will receive one (1) complimentary badge, your name published on promotional material, website, and program and recognition as a leader in the fastener industry.
Please note that this speaking engagement is a non-paid event. Speakers will not be paid an honorarium or reimbursed for expenses.
