ARC World Industry Forum




























Presenting ARC's Fourteenth Annual Orlando Forum


ARC World Industry Forum:  Where Industry Leaders Meet to Solve Their Most Challenging Issues


February 8-11, 2010 - Orlando, Florida


Reduce costs, reduce risk, reduce project cycle time, reduce energy use, reduce carbon footprint!  These are key challenges for all manufacturing and asset-intensive organizations today.  Industry leaders are under enormous pressure to address these issues with fewer people, smaller budgets, limited visibility, and little tolerance for risk. 


Achieving excellence in every aspect of business operations is critical for success.  Excellence cannot be achieved in isolation; it requires perfect execution, flexibility, and collaboration among corporate leaders from all organizations including business, IT, engineering, operations, and maintenance.  A business cannot remain static and survive, therefore innovation must also be a priority.  New business models, products, processes, and production techniques can enhance the value proposition in a dynamic environment.


Industrial Companies Now Face Many Diverse Issues


ARC's World Industry Forum meets this need and provides the ideal environment for industry executives to collaborate on solving their most challenging issues.  The event will include sessions on most major issues facing our industry, with multiple tracks that enable executives to explore these topics from different perspectives.  Owner/operators, solution providers, and technical experts will all benefit from this experience and can contribute to the solution to most challenging issues. 


To encourage collaboration among professionals from various departments and organizations, ARC is co-locating its three annual forums together here in Orlando: our Operations-focused Forum (held in Orlando for the past 13 years), Asset Lifecycle Management Forum (held in Houston last year) and Supply Chain & Logistics Forum (held in Boston for many years).  ARC is also encouraging other organizations to plan their events and meetings along with this forum so that attendees can get the most out of their valuable time.  For more information on the different Forum programs and their specific topics and agendas:
