We will dive deeper into how automation can help assist in current employment obstacles. \n\n\n\nPanel Presentation:\n\nHear from local automation experts and manufacturers who have implemented automation as they share best practices\, lessons learned\, expected ROI\, and what's next.  Experts from the financing side will help you understand the resources and options available. \n\n\n	Pete Rogers\, Central McGowan\n	Eric Borchardt\, Mathew Hall\n	Lance Louis\, Louis Industries\n	David Heyer\, MN DEED\n	Troy Cameron\, Falcon National Bank
