EMC is elated to announce Canada's 'Leader of the Unofficial Opposition' Rick Mercer has officially joined the keynote lineup for our upcoming national manufacturing conference: Advantage through Excellence: Building the Case for Manufacturing in Canada.

In his 'standing-room only' keynote addresses, Rick shows why he is Canada's most popular comic and top political satirist who knows exactly what matters to regular Canadians and what makes us laugh!

Rick will speak during the EMC conference, at our Networking & Awards of Excellence Dinner, hosted in conjunction with the City of Hamilton. This special presentation will take place at a unique venue: the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum!

Known as "Canada's Unofficial Opposition," Rick chronicles, satirizes, and ultimately celebrates all that is great and irreverent about this country.  His top-rated, award-winning CBC show, The Rick Mercer Report - which routinely tramples even its American competitors in the ratings -- features his trademark rants, hilarious (and informative) fake newscasts, commercial parodies, and comic encounters with famous Canadians, talking about Canada.

Born in St. John's, Newfoundland, Mercer is a Gemini-winning television host, actor and writer who has starred on This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Made in Canada, and Rick Mercer's Talking to Americans, which was watched by millions, and attracted attention across North America; it remains the highest-rated comedy special in Canadian history.

EMC is finalizing its program of workshops... and it is simply outstanding. More than 80% of the sessions are being delivered by MANUFACTURERS themselves, with subject-matter-experts and other industry stakeholders completing the world-class agenda.

With the addition of Rick Mercer to the line-up, this year's national conference will sell-out much sooner than previous events... which sold out more than a month in advance. Don't miss this opportunity to attend EMC's premiere manufacturing event... and get a chance to hear from one of Canada's own national treasures... and be thoroughly entertained to boot!

EMC's is also finalizing our other keynote presenters... stay tuned as we roll out those details beginning in January.
