THE CONFERENCE |
The 2008 Turnaround Industry Network Conference (TINC) was held on June 16 - 18, 2008 at the Hilton Americas Houston, Texas. TINC is the industry's premier conference for turnaround professionals, and is a forum to share best practices proven to deliver safe, event-free, and predictable turnaround outcomes. TINC is an invitation-only conference for owner operators, and is the industry’s only forum exclusively for Turnaround Professionals in the petrochemical industry. TINC is sponsored by Asset Performance Networks, and is governed by a strict code of conduct to ensure compliance with antitrust laws.
This year's keynote speaker was Garrison Wynn, a best-selling author and professional speaker who recently joined Stephen R. Covey, Ken Blanchard and Jack Canfield in a new book highlighting the real secrets of success. Garrison's keynote was entitled "The Truth About the Best..." and he provided new research and insights into why success requires much more than just being good at what you do.
