LPPDE Update

I may have been taking some time off, but the LPPDE Organizing Team has been very busy! This week, we travel to our two finalist cities, Denver and Chicago, to nail down our site and date selections. We have also narrowed the window of time to April of 2008.

We intend to have our registration system available in October. In the meantime, we have set a target of $1500 for our registration fee, for two full days of presentations, with an additional fee for pre-conference workshops.

We have also signed up an outstanding list of thought leaders to help guide the agenda and recruit speakers. Michael Kennedy, Jamie Flinchbaugh of the Lean Learning Center, Bo Oppenheim of the Lean Aerospace Initiative and Jim Luckman join Durward Sobek, Tricia Sutton and myself on the thought leader panel.

We are looking for lean product development practitioners with great stories to tell, and additional sponsors! If you would like to be considered, please use my contact form to send me an email or give me a call.
