The annual Western Pallet Association (WPA) meeting has become one of the best events of the year for networking and learning about latest industry issues. The people way out West are friendly and know how to put on a good meeting complete with fantastic golf outings in California and a strong lineup of speakers.
Escape the winter cold, and come out to the WPA meeting held in Rancho Mirage, California from January 16-20, 2015. Brent McClendon, the president of the National Wooden Pallet & Container Association (NWPCA) will be presenting his thoughts on “A Strategic Approach to Wood Packaging Trends & Issues.”
Packaging expert, Ralph Rupert of Millwood Inc. will share the latest on moisture, drying mold mediation strategies. Insurance experts will speak on “Demystifying the Affordable Care Act.” USDA Forest Service researcher, Phil Araman, will highlight the latest new and used pallet data. Patrick Atagi of the NWPCA will update attendees on the latest public policy issues.
And I will be speaking alongside Jeff McBee, market analyst for the Pallet Profile, on “Life Hacks – Solutions and Ideas for Common Problems.” We are excited about our presentation which will be full of best lessons we have learned this year from our conversations and plant visits with pallet companies from around the globe.
Leading suppliers will also be attending to exhibit and talk about how they can help you with your machinery and equipment needs.
