The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has set November 7-9 as the date for its annual conference, with activities and seminars revolving around the central theme: "Engage: Answer the Call".

The three-day event is to be held at the Ritz-Carlton Resort at Amelia Island, Florida, and will feature "challenge sessions" designed to give delegates the opportunity to apply speakers' recommendations to their real-world situations.

The line up of speakers is world class, and includes such identities as Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post columnist George Will, world-famous embezzlement expert Frank Abagnale and Institute for International Economics director Fred Bergsten.

The AEM's annual conference also has a healthy mix of business and pleasure, combining the serious business of case-studies, keynote speeches and discussions along with golf, lunches and evening receptions.
