Welcome to the March 10 edition of the IndustryWeek Continuous Improvement newsletter. In this issue, I'm going to refrain from saying much about the 2026 IW Best Plants Awards program, other than to remind you that the deadline is April 3. Eary bird deadline is March 16.
Instead, I'm going to turn your attention to the IndustryWeek Operations Leadership Summit, which takes place in October in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Our call for speakers is now open, and we have a continuous improvement track. If you have a process improvement story you believe other manufacturers could learn from, I urge you to consider applying to speak. If you're uncertain and would like to chat about it, send me an email and we can schedule a call. I see the event as an opportunity to share best practices, and I know many of this newsletter's readers have a lot of wisdom to share.
