"At LPPDE, I had the opportunity to learn from companies at all stages of the journey — from the early pioneers and from companies just a few months ahead of us. The experience helped me kick off my team's lean product development program." —Engineering Manager, Consumer Electronics

The 2009 Lean Product and Process Development Exchange was a landmark event in the history of lean product development. We brought together more than a hundred lean product development thought leaders, practitioners, and explorers for three days of learning, dialogue, and knowledge creation. Although the economy dragged down our numbers for 2009, we still pulled together people from over twenty companies to share their experiences, successes, and challenges as they use lean product development to improve their company's performance.

We are excited to announce our 2010 events!

We will expand our popular webinar series with six practitioner stories from companies like Christie Digital, Playworld Systems, and Kulicke & Soffa. It will run once per month from September – May with a break for the holidays.

Our 2010 conference program will include:

• New Success Stories, including some stories from companies who got their start at the first LPPDE conference in 2008.
• A3 Hall of Fame to share great examples of this key lean communication tool.
• Expanded Executive Forum to explore the role of the executive in a lean product development organization.

We hope that you will join us!
