Wednesday, November 16, 2022 @ 10:15-11 a.m. EST
Presenter: Darrin Mitchell, CEO
Session Title: Aligning and Bulletproofing your Supply Chain for Phenomenal Profit
Session Description: The events of the past few years have underscored for all businesses the importance of building an adaptive and resilient supply chain. As a confirmed graduate from the school of hard knocks join presenter Darrin Mitchell as he shares practical tips and insights into how to:
- Avoid – becoming a patchwork of poor performing suppliers,
- Learn – how to utilize today’s tools to outpace the competition, and
- Build – a supply chain that will increase profits and derive benefit from the global economy.
About Darrin: Over the last 20 years, Darrin Mitchell grew a very successful manufacturing business.
He developed a worldwide marketing system with partners in six (6) continents, patented intellectual property, a global supply chain and profits 10x the industry average. Most impressive, he did it from a small remote Island. Not adjacent to the customers or supply chain; he used social media, innovation, and resourcefulness to create a new model for business
About Manufacturing Masters: In today’s manufacturing environment, the one constant is “problems” -some of which company owners and managers are really good at solving (i.e., how to weld, how to use a CNC machine, how to make it faster and cheaper); but increasingly critical to business success are other issues and challenges that having technical expertise, doesn’t equip you with the “how to” knowledge needed. Manufacturing Masters provides training and best practice for manufacturing businesses taught by real Experts with decades of industry experience. Built by manufacturers for manufacturers, the online platform provides manufacturers with access to 500 5-10 minute videos, designed to provide the viewer with short actionable “wins”.

Here’s what attendees have to say
“The Exporter’s conference was a pleasant surprise since the speakers were a bunch of private companies, all exporters who each gave a talk on what works and what doesn’t, which markets have specific issues and most importantly, showed the value of what it means to sell overseas. Great addition to NASBITE! I got lots of great info and leads from attending.”
– Brent Rondon, Sr. Management Consultant for International Trade, University of Pittsburg SBDC
“Spending time at the Exporters Summit sharing ideas with some of America’s best and brightest small business exporters was a great learning opportunity. I liked the event’s fast-paced format, including networking opportunities that contributed to my overall NASBITE experience. I highly recommend adding the National Small Business Exporters Summit to your NASBITE Conference itinerary.”
