Agenda
Shift Ideas to Results.
Attendee at a break-out session
The Forum agenda provides a landscape for IDEA customers and their peers to network, identify eBusiness challenges and clear the roadblocks one-by-one. Attendees don't just come here to learn, they come to make significant progress toward business objectives in an environment that thrives with collaboration from manufacturers/suppliers, distributors and service providers. Come have your 'A-ha' moment here.
The condensed agenda we rolled out last year was well received and we will repeat that format to conserve your time and resources. Industry experts will share the freshest eBusiness concepts, initiatives and technologies; and you’ll get the opportunity to hand-select areas for further development. In just 1.5 days, you’ll take a positive step toward "Shifting Ideas to Results."
