Enjoy a complimentary lunch on Wednesday, February 8, 2023 as Bank of America economist Ehiwario Efeyini provides us with a variety of data and analysis on the state of the manufacturing sector. Center for Advanced Manufacturing of Puget Sound is hosting this special event to shed light on industry trends.
The upcoming CAMPS Manufacturing Conference on June 12, 2019 continues the tradition with 200 expected to attend. The conference presents to us practical applications to use current technology now, not ‘someday’ in the future.
I am especially interested in the keynote where Andy Luse will present his insights about the 4th industrial revolution. I am also curious about the A.I. breakout session as we learn about the myths and realities.
Another Leadership Forum is happening in March for members of Center for Advanced Manufacturing Puget Sound (CAMPS). The forum will be at the offices of Clark Number in Bellevue, WA on March 27. I will have the honor of presenting on the topic of “Becoming a Thought Leader”.
On November 15, 2018 CAMPS (Center for Advanced Manufacturing Puget Sound) celebrated the successes and achievements in manufacturing in the Puget Sound region. Regence, Capital Benefit Services and Shannon & Associates sponsored the fabulous event. The emcee for the evening was Randy Gardiner, President of CAMPS Board of Directors.
Without manufacturing companies, we would not have the quality of life we currently enjoy. They ‘make stuff’ is often taken for granted and what they build can be the difference between life and death.
Manufacturers are often under-appreciated as they work invisibly to deliver products that change our lives. Employees typically do not have glamorous work spaces and may appear unimpressive since their work clothing is more for function and safety than style.
Manufacturers are in a word: “Remarkable”. This is why I have come to appreciate CAMPS (Center for Advanced Manufacturing Puget Sound) as they do a great job of supporting local manufacturers.
CAMPS has grown membership of nearly 300 companies, organizations, education, and government partners supporting the region’s most innovative, high performing, and collaborating companies. These companies are focusing collectively on:
If you believe as I do about the importance of manufacturers and interested in giving support, providing service or products, you can learn more here.
On June 7th, nearly 200 CAMPS Members, industry experts, and guests were introduced to the future of manufacturing. The prime message was how technology is enabling manufacturing to reach new heights.
The upcoming CAMPS Manufacturing Conference on June 7th is expected to be one of the best yet. With over 200 expected to attend, the conference will present practical applications to use current technology now, not ‘someday’ in the future. I am especially interested in the keynote where Bill Hill will give an overview of IoT used in manufacturing. Of course, the robot demonstration will raise some eyebrows, but don’t be expecting a “Lost in Space” robot.

After serious consideration and research, I recently joined the CAMPS organization. CAMPS is the acronym for Center for Advanced Manufacturing Puget Sound. We quickly realized the benefit of being associated with CAMPS and the high caliber individuals and companies who are members.
CAMPS has seven companies or individuals who will be recognized in front of over 300 regional business leaders and organizations at the upcoming Washington Manufacturing Awards event by Seattle Business Magazine. I am looking forward to April 28, 2016 to join the celebration.
The video below is a kick-off to the recognition and celebration of the accomplishments of all those recognized at the upcoming manufacturing awards event.
