The Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE) is pleased to announce the return of its annual spring conference, to be held in person at the Charlotte Convention Center from May 23 – 26th, 2022. To kick off the event, Brent L. Yeagy, President and Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Board of Wabash (NYSE: WNC), the innovation leader of engineered solutions for the transportation, logistics and distribution markets, will be the keynote speaker.
“Innovation is the heart of Wabash, and Brent is the kind of leader who is not afraid to take risks to uncover breakthrough ideas that can change the industry,” said Peter Hedger, General Chair for SAMPE 2022. “I am confident that everyone will leave the SAMPE keynote session inspired and motivated to bring a fresh new level of innovation to their workplace.”
“This year’s program is rich with value and inspiration,” said Zane Clark, CEO of SAMPE North America. “Along with our keynote speaker, we have a wide variety of tutorials, panels, plant tours and presentations that will give our attendees the practical ideas and answers they need to take back to their workplaces. We are looking forward to creating a dynamic marketplace for our exhibitors and innovators to showcase their products and services that have been developed over the past two years of a pandemic-induced hiatus.”
