Look Before You Leap — The Economics of Diversification (T1)
Although diversification into new markets and production areas can be an exciting and profitable
step, relying on vague beliefs that an industry or market is a good fit with existing operations, or that
recent market or industry trends are indications of long-term health, could spell long-term failure.
Get the updated insight on how our manufacturing markets are performing and what’s in store for the
future. Consider regulatory issues, costs of entry, distribution and other economic factors that will
ultimately impact your diversification success.

The Essentials of Job Shop Marketing (T8)
It is very challenging in manufacturing today; how to survive and grow as the economy sorts itself
out. Many marketing-savvy contract manufacturers & job shops are being aggressive, right now!
They are going after new business while others are hiding their heads. This session points you in the
right direction without breaking the bank. Topics we will discuss:
• What’s so important about Web sites & tradeshow displays?
• What is required in a successful Web site?
• How much WOW-factor should you have and why?
• How much thought to give to Google and Bing.
• How to avoid the easy but fatal mistakes.
• How much should you be investing right now?
Presented by: Rob Edwards, VP, The Job Shop Company
“Referring colleagues to FABTECH is a good thing – the show provides many new manufactur-
ing technologies that can improve your business. Best of all, participation was easy. After I
registered I received an email confirmation with my referral code. When other people I work
with showed an interest in attending, I actually completed their registration for them.”
