The AGMA SNL Forum is a group that brings together AGMA members from across the gear industry. The goal of the SNL Forum is to provide a dynamic, educational, and collaborative event to help participants grow, both within the industry and the association. The SNL Forum offers robust, peer-focused networking opportunities to mid-level managers and next-generation executives in the gear industry, giving attendees new tools to utilize in a rapidly changing industry and economy. The event features educational opportunities in business training, thorough exposure to both leadership and emerging technology resources, and hands-on learning with a tour of a future-focused industry facility.

Kick off the SNL Forum with our tradition of discussing the topic What Is Keeping You Up At Night, this time with a Choose Your Own Adventure twist. In both small and large group formats, we will engage in thought-provoking discussions, allowing you to contribute your tips, ideas, and feedback. Together, we will tackle the hard topics that keep you awake at night and discover that you are not alone in your struggles. Attendees will choose from the top suggested topics that are troubling the industry and work as a group to choose from a list of topic-based scenarios to tackle. The roundtable scenarios will simulate real-life business issues, helping attendees develop practical insights and strategies as a team. The experiences and triumphs of your peers will enlighten and inspire you, as you learn from their journeys towards overcoming similar obstacles.
