--A 2008 LPPDE Attendee
The 2008 Lean Product and Process Development Exchange was a landmark event in the history of lean product development. We brought together over a hundred lean product development thought leaders, practitioners and explorers for three days of learning, dialogue and knowledge creation.
We have just begun planning for the 2009 Lean Product and Process Development Exchange. We will announce the final dates and locations by June 30, 2008, and we will open official registration at the same time. We have a special offer for those who want to register early.
Speaking opportunities are available for practitioners who have a great story to tell. If you would like your story to be considered, please contact Katherine Radeka at 206-274-6179.
In the fall, we will host three webinars on the basics of lean product development, produced by Katherine Radeka and hosted by Dr. Durward Sobek of Montana State University.
We hope that you will join us!
