Two Days of High Quality Education

MTI Program Committee, made up of a dozen members, have put together an outstanding program that hits at the heart of topics on everyone’s mind. They have put together an array of national expert keynotes, panel discussions, and fireside chat sessions to bring out the best ideas to help you improve and grow your business. Take a look at the informative sessions:

The Keys to Emotional Intelligence in Leadership

Year in and year out, studies show that employees are not leaving their company. They are leaving their boss. To create a work culture that employees feel welcomed, appreciated and worth working for, it is important for any person managing two or more people to have a deep understanding of emotional intelligence to lead the way in the workplace and tap into each employee and maximize their productivity. Russ Webb, nationally known speaker on emotional intelligence will share the keys of driving a positive workplace culture through emotional intelligence.

Fireside Chats on Workplace Schedule Creativity

Labor shortages, personal life demands, and employee expectations have all changed how we build a work schedule. No longer is it just 8 am to 5 pm, five days a week. Members will discuss in table groups, then as a whole, creative ideas for finding the balance of getting the work done and meeting employees fast changing expectations.

Curiosity That Drives Employee Engagement

No organization wants its people to be apathetic—toward the work, the people, or the community. Community ignites loyalty and drives retention in both in-person and hybrid workplaces, and is built with one simple thing: curiosity. Curiosity is the opposite of apathy. In this hysterical and motivational keynote, nationally known speaker on curiosity, James Robilotta will talk about how to ask better questions, change the way we hear people’s stories and insights, and adapt the mindset of curiosity that drives a better workplace.

Panel Discussion:  The Keys to Parts Cleanliness

A group of 3 Members will share the growing importance of parts cleanliness and strategies to meet the growing demand. Members will discuss as a whole, their challenges, successes, and best practices on parts cleanliness.

Fireside Chats on Key Industry Topic

Members will take part in table talks and open group discussion on a hot industry topic a voted on by the attendees the week before the meeting.

Economy, Elections, New Generation...  What Does IT All Mean?

The world seems to be shifting so fast it is almost to much to keep up.  2024 is a dynamic year because you have the influence of a rapidly changing economy, the U.S. elections, and changing generations.  Gene Marks, a national business columnist and sought after speaker, will give you insights and trends on how to navigate the waters of change and uncertainty business owners all face ahead. 

Best Creative Minds in Heat Treating

If you ask Members who attend MTI meetings, this is the #1 reason they will say they attend. The ability to share common challenges, opportunities, and daily operational issues with other heat treating executives and suppliers from across North America is invaluable. Attendees at MTI meetings are owners, presidents, GMs, and other top executives, that all are willing to sit down and share input to any issue you want to discuss. It is an engaging and interactive environment that draws Members to connect throughout the meeting.
