11th Annual
WEMCO Meeting

The La Quinta Resort and Club in Palm Springs, California, will be hosting the 11^th Annual WEMCO meeting on January 11 – 13, 2007.  One of four world-class properties that carry the distinctive Waldorf=Astoria brand name, the resort is located in the majestic Santa Rosa Mountains, just 30 minutes from Palm Springs in southern California’s Coachella Valley.  Quite well known for their product and service excellence, the La Quinta is also renowned for its world-class golf and tennis, full recreational amenities, and exquisite dining facilities at the resort, as well as throughout the City of Palm Springs.

The networking opportunities that are presented at the WEMCO annual meetings have always been incredible and this year will be no exception.  You will hear from top industry speakers, such as Dr. Jeff Dietrich of the Institute of Trend Research, discussing relevant and crucial industry topics related to economic forecasting; John Stropki of Lincoln Electric speaking about the ability to improve productivity of the American workforce; Mike Molinini of Airgas, discussing welding distribution channels; and Phil Pratt of Silver Hawk Associates, will discuss "value" that companies create for their customers vs. "product selling".  In addition, feel free to partake in panel discussions and gain insight as it focuses on propelling the welding industry and its associated technologies forward in the 21^st century.

In between meetings, you will be able to indulge in the many recreational opportunities that the La Quinta Resort and Club have to offer.  Guests can pamper themselves with relaxing spa treatments, enjoy an afternoon of tennis, or take part in a cooking demonstration with Chef Tournant Jim Fleishman.

I am confident that you will enjoy the abundance of networking opportunities that will be at your disposal during the WEMCO 11^th annual meeting, not to mention the chance to experience the magnificence of the La Quinta Resort and Club. 

Don’t hesitate to attend such an important event that will allow you to bring a wealth of information back to your organization.
