Guest Speaker

Dr. Badger is frequently an invited speaker at technical conferences, seminars and trade-shows. He is well known for presenting complex grinding concepts in a practical, graphically-instructive, entertaining way, giving audience members immediate “takeaways” that they can use immediately on the shop floor.

Dr. Badger sometimes charges for these talks, depending on the location, audience and potential benefits. He does not promote any company’s products. However, he will talk about the technical aspects of specific products, giving an impartial, professional opinion.

Examples:

  • The IDA Industrial Diamond Association’s yearly educational course on Superabrasives, most recently held at YG-1 Abrasives in North Carolina.
  • S.L. Munson & Company’s one-hour grinding seminars, at IMTS trade-show in Chicago.
