2014 Spring Technical Seminar

Registrations are now open for ISD's eagerly-awaited Spring Technical Event being hosted by Precision Associates June 5-6 in Minneapolis. We have some terrific sessions lined up, including hands-on learning opportunities; sessions will include lab and shop tours, hands-on with packing a pump and fugitive emissions packing to the new API 622 specification, basics and advanced sessions on rubbers and related materials – and a chance to connect with your peers. We will continue to work with the Associates to add additional sessions – stay tuned for more announcements.

Here’s what folks said after last year’s event:

• I've been in the seal business for 28 years and had a great learning experience in products associated with my own.
• I think that these types of trainings are very useful for anyone in these industries to stay engaged and knowledgeable
• PA and ISD did a great job of presenting this technical seminar, I was very impressed.
• ASTM presentation and PAI Tour were each top notch
• The 3M presentation was incredibly detailed and deep – great job!

This event is for ISD Distributor Members. If interested, ISD Associate members are to contact Debbie Mitchell before registering.

The program includes Thursday evening at the ball game (the Twins will be battling the Brewers) to let our brains recover from the extensive technical information they will be absorbing during the day and a half event. The registration fee also includes lunch for both Thursday and Friday. When you register, please note if you will be joining us for the ballgame Thursday evening (checkbox on the registration form - no extra charge.)

A room block has been set up at the Minneapolis Embassy Suites; rooms are $109 plus tax for single or double occupancy, $10 for each additional person. A full breakfast is included, along with free internet access, and free shuttle service to and from the Precision Associates facility or downtown Minneapolis. They also offer a complimentary cocktail reception every evening. To reserve your room online click here and enter the group code INS. You can also call 1-763-560-2700 to make reservations by phone.
