Fabtech 2024 was a standout event for ProFab Alliance, packed with opportunities to connect with industry leaders and showcase expertise. One of the highlights was a live podcast hosted by MakingSparks, which interviewed multiple industry experts throughout the week. These insightful conversations brought a wealth of knowledge to attendees, fostering meaningful discussions on the future of the metal industry.

We also hosted a happy hour, giving us a chance to relax and make new connections in a more casual setting. It was an ideal way to deepen relationships and meet others passionate about the industry.

In addition to networking, the event provided a platform for us to share our expertise through a series of presentations. Lindsey Nix, Matthew Nix, and Adam Schmitt took the stage to discuss key topics: Lindsey spoke on hiring strategies, Matthew covered the intricacies of owning and operating a family business, and Adam shared his insights on strategic planning for long-term success. These talks were well-received, sparking great conversations among attendees.

All in all, Fabtech 2024 was a resounding success for ProFab Alliance. We left with new connections, fresh ideas, and a sense of excitement for the future. Looking forward to building off of the connections we made into the new year!
