A self-taught fabricator who started bending sheet stock in his Seattle garage in 1993, Geoff Mosswell has spent three decades building the largest practitioner-driven coalition in the metal forming industry. His annual gathering — what colleagues affectionately call "the family reunion" — has become required attendance for anyone serious about the trade. In this opening keynote, he reflects on what changes, what doesn't, and what the next thirty years of the industry will demand.
