U Connect Conference®
Why attend the U Connect Conference®? The reason is simple: U Connect Conference attendees come to get information they don’t find anywhere else. The value of attending U Connect comes from having sessions that are planned and developed by peers from small, medium and large companies – industry veterans and experts who serve on U Connect’s National Conference Planning Committee. Each year, the Committee draws on their own experience and their intimate knowledge of industry issues and challenges to develop conference sessions that directly address what’s happening in industry today.

Our conference data indicates that more than three quarters of last year’s attendees say U Connect is the only conference they will attend in 2008 and of all attendees, approximately half come back every year! |

Why you? U Connect 08’s timely topics provide fertile ground for learning from experts and networking with peers who are also there to learn about how to overcome challenges in their trading relationships and bring greater value to their supply chain operations through standards-based solutions.

Small-to-Medium Sized Business Needs
U Connect has sessions for businesses of all sizes. If your company is a small-to-medium business, you can see significant benefits by using GS1 standards-based solutions for supply chain management. At U Connect 08 you can learn how standards-based solutions can help level the playing field for trading and competing with larger companies.
Ways to Make Your Technology Work Harder
The barcode revolutionized the way products were sold. Today, the opportunities still include the barcode and go further to additional standards for business process automation, collaborative commerce, data synchronization, and Electronic Product Code/Radio Frequency Identification (EPC/RFID). U Connect 08 will show you how an integrated solutions approach works harder and accomplishes more.
