The WERC Annual Conference & Solutions Center: A wise investment for your businessOn behalf of our Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to invite you to join us as a solutions partner and/or sponsor at the 2017 WERC Annual Conference & Solutions Center. As a valued player in our industry, your participation will not only benefit your company, but also the buyers who will be in attendance. If you’ve participated in the past, then you know that the WERC Annual Conference & Solutions Center is far more than a tradeshow -- it’s an opportunity to increase brand visibility, generate business and build long-lasting, close-knit relationships with senior executives at some of the top companies in our industry. The people you will connect with here are those who are planning a project or who manage facilities that are consistently looking for new partners and suppliers to help advance their interests.

If you are participating for the first time then consider that unlike other events that focus on general aspects of the supply chain, this event has developed a solid reputation for the quality of its programming and the strength and intimacy of its networking opportunities. Here, exhibitors are encouraged to interact closely with other industry leaders on and off the Solutions Center floor, through educational sessions, seminars and other networking events. To ensure that you are put front and center with these executives, we’ve also developed a series of comprehensive and flexible sponsorship packages that are designed to maximize your return on investment.

Your participation at the WERC Annual Conference & Solutions Center is essential to the success of your business and you will benefit from the business opportunities you’ll derive from being involved.

Join us.

Sincerely,

Annette Danek-Akey Chair, WERC 2017 ConferenceSenior Vice President, FulfillmentPenguin Random House, Inc.

It was an excellent opportunity to meet industry peers and professionals, to help me gain perspective of whether or not our company was on track with our warehouse project.

I did find this conference very valuable - great networking, sessions and ability to find solutions or improvements for your own company network.
