Keynote:
MADE IN USA:Choices for Growth
Keynote Speaker Doug Hall, founder
of Eureka! Ranch and the nation's number one growth expert, asked
288 manufacturers and allies three simple but core business questions:
-- Have your profit margins grown
in the last 5-10 years?
-- If you lost your No. One customer, would you survive?
-- And are you having fun (doing what you do)?
If the answer to any of those is
no, companies need to take action, today, he said. Read

Participating
in the all-time Compete Smart favorite: Company Leaders on "Lines
on Success"
Peter
Stark, North
Slope Sustainable Wood,
Missoula
Somewhat surprised
by what he called a "tidal wave of people in the room,"
Peter Stark, co-founder of North
Slope Sustainable Wood, presented a compelling story of how
business and environmental communities can work hand in hand to
mutual benefit. His story shared a personal evolution and underscored
the value of outside stimulus to successful entrepreneurship, a

Doug Hall, the previous day. Read

Co-founder, Big Sky Brewing Co.,

Red
Oxx.com, a travel and adventure
gear manufacturer in Billings, Mont., added a dimension to this
year's conference with the donation of
Red Oxx travel baskets which were
used
at the banquet tables for several mealtime activities and then
given away at the closing luncheon to the person at each table
who had traveled the furthest. Made from the same tough-as-nails
fabrics and clasps as other Red Oxx travel gear, the baskets fold
flat and are a great way to keep sunglasses, keys and other gear
together. The baskets are available with embroidered corporate
branding for employee or client gifts.
Many other Montana Product Showcase items were generously donated
to conference goers by the companies that manufacture them.
