Past AME Conferences and Summits

AME International Conference

The annual AME International Conference is the largest lean and continuous improvement conference in the world. The conference regularly hosts 1,100 - 1,500 lean and continuous improvement professionals often representing more than 20 countries.

Since 1985, the AME International Conference has set the standard for practitioner-to-practitioner sharing. The world's largest lean conference features keynotes, workshops, site tours, practitioner presentations and networking opportunities. The conference caters to continuous improvement practitioners of every level — from beginners to experts in every role from the frontlines to the C-suite, in manufacturing, government, health care, and other industries.

AME Summits

AME regularly hosts summits throughout the year. Summits are typically shorter than the International Conference and focus on a specific topic like health care, defense and government, and lean. Summits often include keynote speakers, practitioner sessions, panel discussions, workshops, tours and networking.
