AME is driven by a simple but powerful purpose: to inspire a commitment to enterprise excellence through sharing, learning and growing. Our strength comes from all of you who bring passion, expertise and innovation to everything you do.
I am excited that we will be able to celebrate together in a few short weeks at the AME St. Louis 2025 International Conference. It is going to be an amazing week filled with practitioner-led sessions, behind-the-scenes tours, engaging keynote speakers, practical, hands-on workshops and fun networking activities with other innovative change agents. This year’s conference offers an incredible opportunity to gain experience, make new connections and walk away truly inspired.
After 41 years, we’ve learned a thing or two. Yes, you’ll find top-notch training sessions. But what truly sets AME apart is that this is a conference led by practitioners, for practitioners. The people in the trenches every day — the doers, the problem-solvers and the leaders — are the ones sharing their stories. You’ll hear their challenges, their wins, their lessons learned and how they celebrate their people along the way. It’s real, it’s authentic and it’s exactly the kind of learning that sticks.
We intentionally create opportunities to learn from one another, from the true boots on the ground. That’s why you don’t want to miss this year’s experience. To enjoy the full AME vibe, book your stay at the Marriott St. Louis Grand, situated right at the heart of the action. The hotel has graciously extended the booking deadline at the AME group rate.
Bring your colleagues and peers with you! The more voices we have in St. Louis, the stronger our community becomes. Together, we’re not just an association, we’re a movement. A movement driving people-centric leadership and shaping the future of excellence in manufacturing across the globe.
As always, please stay safe and keep looking out for one another.
