Paul Frank, Palmetto Branch President: "We are very excited to be putting on the 4th Annual Myrtle Beach Technical Conference, and would be very pleased if you could join us in beautiful Myrtle Beach for a few days. “Reshoring” – Y’all Come Back Now, Ya Hear! – is a mouthful, but is our way of putting a Southern twist on a very important idea, revival of the manufacturing base in the U.S., and the metal finishing services that go with it. We hope to bring some ideas to the table that will benefit all of us, and encourage the kind of discussion and creative thinking that we need to sustain our industry for the long haul. Plus providing industry and technical updates from our speakers, and good networking opportunities. Hope to see you there!"
