Consumer Returns 2008 brings together 175+ senior level executives from major retailers and consumer electronics & appliance manufacturers, all seeking to use Consumer Returns 2008’s high-level learning & networking opportunities to minimize their returns rates and pry open their profit margins.

Leadership is becoming more of an issue and marketing procurement has become more important within the most cutting edge organizations as a strategic role rather than a clerical role. These developments and direct requests from our attendees and sponsors have led WBR to develop ProcureCon Indirect.
If you're responsible for indirect procurement or for purchasing goods and services such as office supplies or consulting services at your firm, then Procurecon Indirect is a must attend.
Case studies and presentations from leading indirect executives will enable attendees to take home strategies to create a clear snapshot of the best practices in SRM, Data Visibility and the business transformation as it relates to all departments falling under non-traditional spend and indirect procurement including MRO, Marketing, IT, Legal and Human Resources.
