Metal Packaging: Solutions through Education
The Hilton Indian Lakes Resort will once again be our host venue for the 2015 Conference. Planning sessions have been as
fruitful as you would expect and the agenda’s offering will surely provide guidance and information useful in your application
of metal decorating technology.
We begin the Conference session with Jan Dunphy, Vice President Sales and Marketing for Beverage Containers from Crown
Cork & Seal. Jan will give us insight into Crown’s perspective for the ever growing craft brewers’ use of cans for their packaging.
Joining in the conversation will be Aimee Quinkert of Revolution Brewing to present their success using cans for their craft
brews.
Other highlights of our Wednesday program include a motivational presentation from long time NFL referee, Jerry Markbreit,
who will entertain and motivate us with his stories from many years working for the 3M Corporation and from serving as one of
the best loved NFL referees on record. As is customary, we will hold our Awards Luncheon of Wednesday to honor our Member
of the Year, Decorators of the Year and Excellence in Quality award winners. We are pleased to announce that we will be bringing our Breakout session format back into the agenda with segments loaded with technical know how. Our well attended
Sponsored Exhibition will round out the day with hospitality second to none. There are still spaces available; act soon as we will
surely sell out the spaces again this year.
Thursday’s agenda will start out with a key presentation from Pantone Xrite which will focus on color management which is
crucial to our success. We will follow up the management segment with a lesson on terms and technology used when
communicating color. We are offering a presentation on one of the hottest management topics today, How to Deal with the
Generational Divide in the Workplace. Understanding the needs and desires of the various age groups in our society is a must in
recruiting and keeping valuable team members. This seminar content is a must see!
While we may be focusing on technical, management, and marketing topics, we will always include presentations on our
environment and ways in which we can improve the impact metal packaging has on the world.
Register now and join the more than 300 metal packaging personnel in the premier educational event of the year!
Sincerely, Your IMDA Conference Committee
JERRY MARKBREIT
3M Corporation – National Football League Referee
Jerry Markbreit's position as Trade and Barter Manager for 3M Company was
unique in the business world. That position, combined with his experience as one
of only sixteen National Football League Referees, has given him the background to
develop an interesting and worthwhile message for the IMDA.
Markbreit retired from the 3M Company after 38 years. In his position, he daily negotiated and traded millions of dollars of
advertising, media time, materials, etc. with businesses throughout the world.
After officiating football for nine years, Markbreit became a member of the Big Ten Football officiating staff.
His most memorable games in the Big Ten include:
The 1966 Notre Dame/Michigan State National Championship Game (10-10) tie, The 1972 Rose Bowl game between Stanford
and Michigan, and Six Ohio State/Michigan games, including the 1971 (10-7) Michigan victory when Woody Hayes stormed the
field in his "first national tirade."
Markbreit wrote a weekly football column for the Chicago Sun Times for several years while working college football and in 1973
he wrote The Armchair Referee published by Doubleday & Company. In 1988 his autobiography, Born to Referee, was published
by William Morrow Company. He currently writes an internet column for the Chicago Tribune under ChicagoSports.com
Markbreit is best known as one of the most popular NFL referees today. 1998 was his 23rd and final season in the league. His
career reads like a history book - refereeing Superbowls 17, 21, 26, and 29 and 8 Championship Games.
He is currently an assistant supervisor in the NFL officiating office, in charge of training referees.

Decorators of the Year
The IMDA supports the recognition of the craftsmanship displayed by those who are active in the decoration of
metal products. Our industry is fortunate to have many individuals who have demonstrated a performance level
worthy of recognition by their peers. Companies are afforded the opportunity to recognize those individuals who
have displayed exemplary craftsmanship while carrying out their duties operating or maintaining metal decorating
equipment. We encourage managers to submit applications for those who meet the IMDA’s criteria to be considered
for such recognition. Our judged winners will be known as our Decorators of the Year, 2015. We have mailed out
entry forms earlier to decorating company personnel. You can also obtain an entry form from our website:
