RedPrairie Announces Annual User Conference, RedShift:2008
Registration now open for the 11th annual RedPrairie user conference
MILWAUKEE, Wis. – RedPrairie Corporation, a world leading consumer driven optimization company, announced the agenda for its upcoming user conference, RedShift:2008, Synchronizing Supply Chain & Retail, May 5 - 8 at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Miami, Florida. RedShift generates new ideas and information-sharing on how to improve supply chain, retail and manufacturing operations through industry-specific roundtable discussions, customer-led breakout sessions and networking opportunities. Registration is now open at www.RedShift2008.com.
Keynote speakers for the event include Dr. Arthur B. Laffer, a world-renowned economist often considered “the Father of Supply Side Economics.” Laffer will present “The Economic Outlook,” which looks at the current economic environment and offers thoughts on where it's headed - short term, long term, domestically and globally - with prospects for investments, interest rates and business growth. Lora Cecere, AMR Research Director, will moderate the “Global E2e Technology Trends Media Panel.” This media panel will discuss four of the hottest topics for retail and supply chain leaders: the impending labor squeeze resulting from retiring Baby Boomers; the “last yard” of the supply chain; the potential of single button recalls, and the challenges with implementing green, or sustainability, initiatives.
RedPrairie customers take a lead role in educational sessions at the conference, providing real-world examples for optimizing supply chain and retail operations. This year’s customer presenters include AutoZone, Best Buy, DSC Logistics, Exel, F&P Mfg., Inc., Toys “R” Us and Wagner Industries.
“This year’s event is shaping up to be bigger and even better than last year. We’re very excited to be able to bring together our customers, partners, academics, press, and our own team members to share experiences, knowledge, ideas and vision. Our aim is for every participant to return home with new ideas to drive revenues and profitability in their business. We urge all of our customers to attend,” said Mike Mayoras, President and CEO for RedPrairie.
