FASTENER TECH™ ’15, the 2015 version of the biennial all-fastener industry event in the heart of the fastener industry, offers something for everyone in fasteners. Fastener manufacturers, distributors, users and industry suppliers are here in Rosemont to exchange information on the state of the fastener industry. Market conditions are improving in many sectors, so there is great benefit in discussing strategy, technology and business situations.

Past surveys of FASTENER TECH™ participants indicate that about 90% of respondents like the “All-Industry” focus of the show as well as the Rosemont location. We expect a similar response at the close of this show. This year, FASTENER TECH™ is co-located with the SUR/FIN show, which is expected to add value to most attendees and exhibitors.

Finally, we offer a special thanks to our exhibitors, seminar speakers, sponsors and attendees as well as the many fastener industry publications and associations that have participated in the staging of FASTENER TECH™ ’15.

The new economy is one where rapid change reigns. Changes in customer demands, technologies, labor trends are accelerating so rapidly that traditional business rules just don’t apply anymore. Therefore, 21st-century leaders must adapt by learning to lead their teams and their own careers differently. This

seminar explores critical leadership skills needed to thrive in an ever-changingbusiness world. Speakers will discuss the impact a mentor can have on your

career. Having access to a trusted mentor is essential to sharpening your own ability to change and adapt. There will also be discussion on the techniques to help you transform your organization from one that resists change to one that relishes it. Learning how to change and evolve your leadership skills throughpowerful mentoring relationships is the first step. If you can’t master the ability

to change, how can you lead others to do the same?” Session Speakers: Renee Giacalone began her career in the fastener industry holding various sales and operational positions for six years with The Aderman. She spent the next ten years with Standard Register, a document and print manufacturer where she developed process improvement skills as a Six Sigma Black Belt. Renee later joined Bank of America holding leadership positions in process improvement,

change management and retail management for nine years. Renee is currently a Senior Manager for Centric Consulting, a leader in Business Process and
