Greg Bennick, A Juggler of Objects and Concepts
Topic: “Become the Change You Wish to See in the World”
See what juggling and engineering have in common!
Greg Bennick’s life is entirely up in the air, and we feel that there is no better person to share ideas about getting involved with taking action and dealing with change than someone who battles gravity, balance and perspective every time he takes the stage. In juggling, every toss is potentially perfect but its only through adjustment s to approach and technique that mastery is gained. The same is true in engineering: an idea is refined and developed over time until perfection is achieved. With twenty years of experience juggling the widest possible variety of objects, and ideas that immediately engage his audiences, Greg combines incredible juggling and audience participation to get his goal across.

Closing Session
Guest Speaker: Amster Howard, Pipelines Installation Expert
Topic: "The Inspector will be here next Tuesday"
A full-time, trained inspector is the key to a successful pipeline project. No computer program, PhD, CRM, CSI specification, or license will affect the outcome as much as the knowledge and mood of a pipeline inspector. Amster will give examples of the consequences of improper, or absent, inspection.
