SARS Developments
Based on recent developments relating to SARS and Toronto, and the likelihood of companies reinstating past travel restrictions, Celestica and the IWPC have decided to move the workshop, still scheduled for June 17-20, to a hotel near Celestica’s Salem NH facility. (in the Lowell MA area -- Easy driving distance from Boston’s Logan Airport and the Manchester, NH Airport)
New hotel information will be forthcoming in the next few days.
Please call the Fairmont Hotel in Toronto Canada (Tel: 416-368-2511) to cancel your previous hotel reservations.

The group will interactively discuss and identify opportunities for future fruitful development.
We will break into small working groups and allow members to interact with like and no-so-like minded professionals.
The goal of this process is to clarify the needs and identify new opportunities for development.
Each working group will identify a leader and at the end, the leader will make a short presentation on the findings and conclusions of their group.
