No longer one of the country’s best-kept secrets, Northwest Arkansas is known for its booming businesses and fast-growing economy. With a thriving cultural community consisting of museums, performing arts centers, historical sites, state parks, sports teams and more, Northwest Arkansas is a popular vacation destination. Highways and the newly expanded Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (XNA) provide for easy travel to and from the region.

The theme of the conference, Lean and Green: Building a Sustainable Future Through Engineering Management, recognizes one of the most pressing challenges that engineering managers face in sustaining the quality of life that we have come to expect. The combination of a great location, top-notch speakers, and an expansive program that addresses this and many other challenges ensures an invaluable experience.

The meeting will take place at the Embassy Suites Northwest Arkansas which is only minutes from several major corporate headquarters including Wal-Mart, stunning outdoor recreation areas, and upscale shopping and dining establishments.  To make reservations with The Embassy Suites Northwest Arkansas, please visit their website http://embassysuites.hilton.com/en/es/groups/personalized/XNAESES-EN2-20101012/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG .

The organizing committee invites the engineering management community to join us in Northwest Arkansas.
