Reverse Logistics Association Fifth Annual Las Vegas Event

(RLA) will return to Las Vegas for the fifth year with the largest ever RLA Conference & Expo! The date of the event is February 4-6, 2008.

Attendees from throughout the North America as well as many other international delegates will converge at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. ODMs and OEMs will be looking for Third Party Service Providers (3PSPs) that can manage Reverse Logistics in North America and Europe, along with identifying Service Logistics solutions. "This is shaping up to be a great event," says Gailen Vick, President, Reverse Logistics Association, "at three months out we have already exceeded our 2007 numbers for exhibitors. And, we have enough interested speakers to warrant considering a fifth track! This will be the best RLA conference, by far." Industry leaders from across North and South America are gathering to discuss best practices and field service solutions. By meeting the Speakers and Exhibitors, attendees will learn about the latest technologies and trends in the worldwide reverse logistics arena which can help them grow and enhance their businesses.

Pre-conference workshops are offered on Monday February 4, 2008 and will include topics such as "Enhance Your Profits By Improving Your Reverse Logistics" , "Service Parts Management Strategies and Inventory Optimization", "Progressive Dispositioning Process", and "Using Reverse Logistics to Enhance Customer Service and Competitive Performance" The exhibit hall opens at 1:00PM as the Focus Committees begin their open discussions.

Our Keynote Address on Tuesday will be delivered by Joe Warren, VP & General Manager, Customer Support Operations, Canon USA followed by sessions by RL Professionals, leading academics and panel discussions.

Wednesday we will have a keynote address by Bernie Schaeffer, Corporate Vice President, Global Repair & Reverse Logistics Integrated Supply Chain, Motorola, Inc.
