Turning the Page on the 2022 Road Show Season!

By Melanie Bonds

The ATA will have completed another season of our popular Road Shows by the time this publication reaches you. It has been a relief to return to an “in-person” event after last year’s webinars, necessitated by the Covid virus. Everyone came together in 2021 to make the virtual events happen, and the speakers did a wonderful job with the technology, but most agree there is something missing when there is no personal contact.

We had a wonderful line-up of speakers and topics for 2022 and kudos to Dr. Dave Han, Dr. Jim Jacobi and James Horton on the ATA education committee. Road Show stalwart and sponsor, James Bartley with Harrells sent the following:

Supply Chain Disruption panel: Mark Bentley, Daniel Strickland, James Bartley, Peter Lange and Chris Moras.

“This year the roadshow educational topics were informative and as timely as can be expected. I encourage all my customers to attend and support and learn from the Road Shows. Kudos to the team that came up with the topics!”

Loxley Road Show

Thank you, James, for the encouragement! And many thanks to our cast of speakers: Dr. Scott McElroy, Jim Harris, Dr. Dave Han, Dr. David Held, Dr. Katelyn Kesheimer, Peter Lange, Dr. Amanda Strayer-Scherer, Dr. Sonya Thomas and John Nabors.

Auburn Road Show

We also had an intriguing and informative panel of our vendor members who discussed Supply Chain Disruption. Thanks to everyone who participated on the panel. The information was very valuable to assist our members in their future planning of budgets and orders.
