Compete with other MHI members at Grand Cypress Golf Club. The 18-hole New Course, reminiscent of the Old Course at St. Andrews, brings Scottish Links to America, complete with 12-foot pot bunkers, stone walls and more. The New Course adds another dimension of play with steeper and more challenging bunkers and slopes. Very little water comes into play on the New Course and very few trees are located within the interior of the course, creating plenty of room to drive the ball. However, even the best of drives will be challenged, as even a slight slice or fade can cause the best of golfers to find themselves looking in the wrong fairway for their ball. (This event does not include lunch.)
Fee: $100 per person includes:
Spend the afternoon fishing in Orlando, world renowned for Trophy Largemouth Bass fishing. Your guide will ensure you are in the best location and provide suggested lures and expertise for a not to be forgotten experience.

You may bring your own snacks and beverages to put in the boat cooler.
Fee: $240 per person includes:Note: 14 people minimum required for this event…must be signed up by the 9/12/13 cut off.

In 1887 Winter Park was originally developed for wealthy Northerners as a summer retreat. Your tour begins with a relaxing, 45-minute pontoon boat ride while gliding through canals and tree lined lakes. View beautiful homes nestled along beautiful lakes and observe nature.
Next stop is the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. This museum houses the world's most comprehensive collection of the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) including Tiffany jewelry, pottery, paintings, art glass, leaded-glass windows, lamps, and the chapel interior he designed for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
For lunch, you will be taken to the Park Avenue shopping district where the Southern charm that lured the elite society can still be seen. Picturesque shops, boutiques, cafes, brick-lined streets and the towering trees of Central Park make Park Avenue the place to be and be seen. After lunch you will have some time to browse the exclusive boutiques and art galleries filled with one-of-a-kind treasures, as well as stores bearing the names of your favorite designers.
Fee: $0 (included with spouse registration fee)

In this new reality of ever fluid change and competitive pressure, material handling and supply chain organizations have no "extra" people and no "free" time. To maximize the people and time you do have, you need leadership that empowers every teammate with the knowledge and skills to own their piece of their organization. Drawing on his 33 years as a career soldier and logistician at every level, Major General Boles will walk through how leadership impacts the links in the worlds largest and most complex supply chain from the port to the Pentagon.
What future impact will the current Administration have on the economy? What are the short-term and long-term economic forecasts for the U.S. and abroad? More importantly, how will those forecasts directly impact your company? In this wide-ranging presentation, economics speaker Alan Beaulieu answers these questions and more as he forecasts the outlook for keys industries as well as the global economy.
The Cinderella story of Jim Morris serves as testimony to the power of dreams and their ability to inspire and transform human life. Jim Morris's meteoric rise from 35 year-old high school teacher to flame-throwing major league pitcher in 3 months, made cinematic history with the release of The Rookie starring Dennis Quaid. This heartwarming and unforgettable Disney blockbuster about chasing your dreams and keeping your promises, won the ESPY award for "Sports Film of the Year." Sports Illustrated magazine also voted The Rookie one of the "five greatest baseball films ever made."
MHI has invited a panel of end users and industry leaders to personally present leading-edge examples of how they are meeting today’s and tomorrow’s supply chain challenges. They will share their insights, strategies, best practices and answer audience questions in an interactive format. This panel discussion will give you the very first look at the U.S. Roadmap for Material Handling and Logistics – a report with contributions from over 100 strategic thought leaders about the future of material handling and logistics.
