Greetings from Milwaukee!

As our AME conference winds down this week, we’re grateful for the time we’ve shared reconnecting with old friends, welcoming new faces, exchanging ideas, and celebrating the people who make this community so special.

This week’s letter is a little shorter as we enjoy our final moments together in Milwaukee. We’ll have plenty more to share soon, including conference highlights, stories, and a few memorable moments that made us smile. Please make sure you post your conference photos on LinkedIn and tag AME.

Before heading home, make one more connection, thank someone who inspired you, and consider one idea you’ll share with your team. Continuous improvement gains momentum when we take what we’ve learned and put it into action.

Thank you to our attendees, volunteers, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, and staff for making this week possible. Whether you joined us in Milwaukee or supported us from afar, we’re glad you’re part of the AME family.

Learning never stops. You can sign up for valuable virtual and in person  AME Events | Conferences, Summits & Lean Workshops here.

Safe travels, and let’s keep sharing, learning, and growing together! Mark your calendars for AME 2027 -  November 8- 11-  in beautiful Charlotte North Carolina.

As always, please stay safe and keep looking out for one another.
