Are you ready for the 2018 event season? The Plant Services editors already have their bags packed in anticipation of another great year of learning opportunities, networking, and often just plain fun.
The first event on my travel calendar is one of my favorites: MARCON, held every year in Knoxville TN. Last year managing editor Christine LaFave Grace attended the event, so I am very much looking forward to returning this year and catching up with Klaus Blache and his team. In a follow-up blog post, I'll list out some of the sessions that I'm anticipating the most. For now, let me share some information with you from the event organizers on what you can expect from the event!
