ASQ St. Louis is sponsoring our annual Quality Conference. Our Program includes a St. Louis quality icon in Sr. Mary Jean Ryan, who led SSM Health Care to be the first healthcare organization in the United States to win the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. While learning from the past, we also look to the future with Matthew Porter, CEO of Contegix, an award winning, managed hosting, cloud computing and colocation service provider based in St. Louis.

Also included are the following three tracks of expert speakers: - ISO 9001:2015 – The quality community is certainly buzzing with this new update to this standard. We found the experts and they will be provide invaluable knowledge and discussion. - Project Management – Project management, including change management has always been linked with quality. We have some sessions on important topics such as iterative and incremental development, as well as change management as it pertains to people and your career. - The Best of the Rest Quality Topics - We found some excellent speaker to share with you. By combining perspectives from Academia, Consultants and Practitioners, we have sessions that you will enjoy immensely; including ASQ Fellow, Dr. Beth Cudney speaking on Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). There is no better way to kick-off WORLD QUALITY MONTH (November 2016) than to bring the quality community together for this discussion.
