He has worked as a pressman, busi- ness owner, and in executive management, and has taught classes for TAPPI, AICC, ACCCSA, and IADD. He has con- ducted best practices training on corrugated finishing and efficient package design for corporations in 35 countries and 10 different language translations. He is regarded as a world-class expert on evaluating manufacturing process- es for new product concepts and for resolving production issues on a wide variety of manufactured products pro- duced with steel rule cutting dies. Previously, he served on the Board of Directors of IADD and is one of only 14 IADD Tech Team members based all over the world. He has received several prestigious in- dustry awards, most notably IADD’s inaugural PEAK Award presented in Interlaken, Switzerland and the Division Tech- nical Award from TAPPI. Course pricing for the early bird rate is $695 for mem- bers and $795 for nonmembers if registered on or before July 28. Prices increase $100, respectively, after July 28.

Attendees will gain a much better understanding of ma- chine limitations on all sorts of flatbed and rotary diecut- ters. They will have a deeper awareness of how estab- lishing a tool readiness program increases uptime and reduces waste. Following are key takeaways on learning outcomes: • Distinguish differences in various flatbed diecutters • Create accurate specifications for Rotary Diecutters and FFG • Recognize pitfalls in structural designs that limit diecut- ting efficiency • Indicate how key maintenance practices on the diecut-
