Corporate gatherings often walk a fine line between urgency and reflection, but the most impactful ones create space for both—allowing ideas to breathe while still driving momentum. In a global organization like TekniPlex, where collaboration spans cultures and continents, the pacing and tone of meetings can shape not just outcomes, but relationships. This year’s IPS Global Sales Meeting in Mexico City appears to have struck that balance, offering attendees time to absorb insights while strengthening the human connections that underpin long-term success.

Tightens up as they say. Hi, everybody. This is Rick McKenna. I'm from the state of confusion, also known as New Jersey. And I wanted to just say a couple things about this meeting. But the the first thing is I thought the timing was perfect. I mentioned it to Orly. Normally, meetings are maybe a little too compressed together, but here we had enough time to digest and to process as we go through. And I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's been so kind to me over the years. Alright? God bless. Thank you. Thank you.
