Two keynote speakers to address challenges and leadership at Wire Expo 2022

The Wire Association International (WAI), Inc. reports that two keynote speakers are scheduled to present on consecutive days at its Operations Summit & Wire Expo, at the Hyatt Regency Dallas, Dallas, Texas, USA, June 7-8, 2022.

The key theme of the event will be “Rising to the challenges”. As WAI President James York wrote in the April issue of Wire Journal International, “the program elements were assembled by the Board [of Directors] to address today’s evolving challenges. These include the supply chain, workforce, and continuous improvement of manufacturing. The theme ‘Rising to the Challenges’ speaks to the intestinal fortitude of the members of our industry.”

Tuesday, June 7 - “The new normal in raw material procurement for the wire and cable industry”
Keynote speaker Brian Schulties, the Chief Procurement Officer for Prysmian Group North America, will share
his insights into the opportunities and challenges facing supply chain in the wire and cable industry in this era of tight supplies.

Wednesday, June 8 - “Leadership in a volatile world”
Keynote speaker Ty Garrison, Senior Vice President of Operations, at Commercial Metals Company, will discuss how the last few years have strained businesses across the globe as Covid forced companies to deal with events like virtual work, burn out, unprecedented supply chain disruptions and volatile markets. The need to successfully navigate these situations puts immense pressure on leadership at every level of an organization. When we shift our mindset and view the pressures of leading a team as a privilege rather than a burden, leaders rise to the occasion and companies thrive.
