Hi all

I am a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) associate working on a lean implementation project.

I am looking to present a paper at a lean conference based on the project I am working on.

Could anyone suggest some good conferences for me to look at or some websites that list various lean conferences for the coming year?

There really isn't one. There are typically only a few stand-alone conferences on Lean each year: SME, Productivity Inc, Shingo Prize, Lean Accounting Summit, etc. Then are other organization that also include topics around Lean but it isn't their sole focus: APICS, AME, IE, etc.

There has also been a reduction in the number of conferences this year due to the economy. I'm willing to guess that the outlook for next year's conference schedule probably will be a little light as well.
