Plumbing Manufacturers International has opened registration for the PMI24 Manufacturing Success Conference, to be held Nov. 4-7 at the InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta hotel in Georgia. In celebration of its 70th anniversary, PMI24 will feature insightful programs and presentations, interesting keynote speakers, the annual PMI Meeting of the Membership and outstanding networking opportunities.

The first day will feature the pre-conference PMI Inspiring Leaders Program at the Carter Center, followed by a welcome reception for all PMI24 attendees at the hotel. Attendees can register for this optional program and PMI24 at a discounted bundle rate.

All employees of PMI member companies are invited to participate in the Carter Center program, titled “Strategic Doing – 10 Skills for Agile Leadership.” Scott Hutcheson, Ph.D., a senior lecturer and professor of technology leadership and innovation at Purdue University, will share a practice-proven framework that helps leaders form action-oriented collaborations.

During the Nov. 5 PMI24 keynote, mixed martial arts fighter turned global humanitarian Justin Wren will share his story of courage and hope, along with tools and techniques for navigating adversity, finding purpose and making a meaningful impact in business and life.

The PMI Women’s Breakfast on Nov. 6 will welcome DeRetta Cole Rhodes, Ph.D., executive vice president and chief culture officer of the Atlanta Braves. She will provide insights on the importance of finding a personal voice as a female leader.

Also on Nov. 6, Katherine Zitsch, water policy expert with the Georgia Water Planning and Policy Center, will deliver a keynote on the “Water Wars of the South.” Zitsch brings together leaders from the business, federal, state, local and philanthropic sectors to address Georgia’s complex water challenges.

Bringing the day’s business to a close, PMI will conduct its 70th Meeting of the Membership and anniversary celebration. During this meeting, PMI will review accomplishments and goals, name the winners of the PMI President’s Award and PMI Ambassador Award, conduct a business meeting, and elect 2025 officers while celebrating PMI’s past, present and future.

The meeting will feature experts on water management, sustainable packaging, PFAS remediation, artificial intelligence, energy- and water-efficient buildings, and more.
