2023 Emerging Leaders Conference Recap

On behalf of MHEDA, MHI and WERC, thank you to the more than 70 young professionals representing almost 50 material handling companies from across the country who attended the 2023 Emerging Leaders Conference on July 27 at the Loews Chicago Hotel. Together we spent the day learning about the power of words and sharing ideas with industry peers. Conference speakers presented tools for honest communications, candid conversations and insights on how to keep work relationships productive and healthy.
