PMPA Members,
The PMPA Management Update Committee invites you to join us for the 2026 PMPA Management Update Conference, March 5–7, at the OMNI Charlotte Hotel in beautiful Charlotte, North Carolina. This conference is your opportunity to connect, collaborate, and gain insight into the challenges and opportunities shaping the precision machining industry. This year’s program offers something for everyone in your organization, from emerging leaders to seasoned executives.
The schedule is packed with presentations driven by professional experts like Ryan Avery, who will challenge you to “Stop Being a Leader, Start Being THE Leader,” as well as Connor Lokar (PMPA’s trusted economist) of ITR Economics, who will deliver critical insights into market and economic trends. Learn from sessions on communicating with your team, hiring best practices, evolving AI, and addressing mental health at work. Participate in interactive breakout discussions led by industry leaders and PMPA members.
We look forward to seeing you in Charlotte for an energizing weekend of insight, inspiration, and industry leadership.
Warm regards,
PMPA Management Update Committee
