WAM SPONSORS SUPPLY CHAIN REGIONAL ROUNDTABLE IN HOUSTON
Focused Roundtables Gather Members of WAM’s Extended Supply Chain Community for Topical Discussion
PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA. — August 10, 2009 — WAM Systems will hold the second of two Regional Roundtables for 2009 in support of its global WAM Systems Insight conference. This first event, held on June 10th in Philadelphia, was an opportunity for members of the extended WAM community to meet for an engaging discussion on the challenges and trends facing supply chain executives in this challenging year. The second roundtable event will be held on Wednesday, October 14 in Houston.
“One of the most valuable components of our annual WAM Insight conference is the many one-to-one meetings that occur between supply chain planning veterans: sales, marketing, planning, scheduling, directors, vice presidents – everyone involved in the process of managing and overseeing the planning process,” said Jeff Burns, Vice President of Marketing for WAM Systems. “For 2009 we chose to accommodate the economic restrictions that so many companies are dealing with and present regional events in locations that could reach as many members of the WAM community as possible. Our upcoming event in Houston has gained a lot of interest and will no doubt be a successful in driving discussions among supply chain executives coping with reduced customer demand, volatile prices, and excess capacity—issues particularly relevant to 2009’s tough business climate.”
WAM’s main conference, WAM Insight, is planned for early 2010 and will follow the same format as in previous years which included 2 days of supply chain case study presentations, technology reviews, industry commentary, WAM’s own benchmarking program insights and numerous networking opportunities among the audience of supply chain executives.
The Houston Roundtable is a FREE event open to all supply chain executives, analysts, and industry consulting and solution providers supporting the process industry. For more information about the WAM Insight Regional Roundtable in Houston, please visit www.waminsight.com.
