Tuesday was a full day at the Omron Americas HQ
office, starting with the full group listening to
presentations by Executive, Distribution, and M arketing

and engaged in six round- robin sessions to cover both
product and technology. The sessions were: Relays,
Connector & Switch, Component Sensor, Sensor

distributors), and Creative Lab. After a break, attendees
and Omron members loaded a bus for a trip to
downtown Chicago to watch the Chicago Cubs take on

current product and technology training, and engage with
the OCB- AM team. This event was organized by the
