- 5th Annual Supplier Relationship Management
-
Feb 26, 2009 - Feb 27, 2009,
Barcelona SpainSupplier Relationship Management (SRM) has been one of the top priorities on the corporate agenda for a long time. Most of the companies have recognised the gains of having long-term relations with key suppliers and have dedicated time and resources to develop and maintain mutually beneficial partnerships with their suppliers. However, the current economic recession and the increased market volatility call for the companies to take a step back and re-assess the SRM processes in place.
A balance should be achieved between short-term and long-term results and the value of SRM should be re-proved by presenting tangible results to the board and Chief Executive Officers. Going back to basics will help the companies identify SRM faults and areas of malfunctioning which have remained unnoticed in the past. Re-assessing the current suppliers and utilising risk management techniques will allow companies to terminate relations with unreliable suppliers and establish partnerships only with vendors which are likely to remain functioning and competitive even at times of economic uncertainty. The best in class organisations go even further by investing significant resources in selected key suppliers to ensure that the latter will resist to the economy turmoil and remain in business. Supplier development is gaining popularity and companies are launching training and education programmes for their suppliers.
This conference will provide insights into how companies from various industries are handling the economic recession and collaborating closely with their suppliers to sustain competitive advantage even in the current challenging economic environment. - full details

- 2nd Annual E-Discovery and Document Management Strategies
-
Feb 26, 2009 - Feb 27, 2009,
London, England, United KingdomE-discovery practice in civil cases and government investigations has rapidly evolved since the onset of federal rules governing electronic discovery a little over a year ago.
While the collection, review and production of e-mails and other electronic documents have become routine for U.S. companies involved in civil litigation, internal investigations, and various other legal matters, there is an increasing number of cases that involve foreign or multinational clients, and the collection and production of electronic documents from these clients can be anything but routine.
Clients with operations in the European Union pose a particular problem for electronic discovery because of the strict data privacy laws in most European jurisdictions, which regulate the processing of personal data and its export from the EU.
The data privacy laws in the European Union often limit the transport of data outside the country or require an individual to provide written agreement prior to having certain data collected and examined. By now, practically everyone even remotely involved in litigation in the United States knows that discovery of electronic information, E-Discovery, has become a very big deal, especially in light of related amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure enacted more than a year ago.
Since litigation is increasingly taking on international components ongoing challenges of computer language barrier and foreign language discovery are still being discussed and debated. Managing discovery in multiple languages is a problem, but also an opportunity for many lawyers and legal tech companies.
Now is a good time to step back and review how companies are grappling with the costs and burdens of E-Discovery. It is time to see weather corporate experience has increased and new challenges arise. - full details
- Next Generation Customer Management
-
Feb 26, 2009 - Feb 27, 2009,
MalaysiaThe past decade has seen a vast upsurge in the importance attached to customer management. Differentiation through customer services and satisfaction is rapidly becoming a vital addition to any business process, and 21st century customer management put emphasis on customer experience, of which every point of customer interaction, directly or indirectly, either with the people, process, or product of an organisation is equally important to ensure customer loyalty. Delivering memorable customer experience has been considered as a major scrutiny to organizations in accelerating their customer management strategies towards success
Practicing customer management requires an efficient and integrated internal business system. It will help your business if you view it as a set of tools that let you do more for, and get more from, your customer.
Asia has seen major development in customer service operations. This is due to the fact that the way customers perceive and value the services they receive are changing rapidly. Customers expectation of a transaction goes beyond the sales point and mediocre after sales service. Moreover, customer retention is a serious corporate strategy in such a competitive market that we are riding today. Therefore the right attitude, careful branding plan and improved knowledge management with the right technology are imperative to create a win-win situation in building a relationship with the customers. - full details

- Warehousing Management and Control
-
Feb 26, 2009 - Feb 27, 2009,
Hong Kong ChinaWarehousing operations has always been a matter of grave importance, but never given the limelight it deserves. Combine this with the limited storage space and huge movement of goods that occur within Hong Kong, and we have a serious issue at hand.
An important point to note is that warehousing does not operate within a standalone arena. Warehousing management is not purely confined to the boundaries of a particular warehouse. It extends to areas such as supply chain, logistics, inventory management, costing and budgeting as well as various other support departments. It is therefore vital for organisations to set up warehousing strategies that work best for their organisation.
This conference has been tailored to suite all your warehousing needs within your competitive environment. The excellent combination of case studies and training will not only help you identify your areas of weakness, but will also guide you through the processes you need to adopt to bulletproof your warehousing strategies.
Do not miss this opportunity to be a pioneer in warehousing excellence and arm your organisation with the right weapons to combat wastage and keep warehousing cost to a minimum. - full details

University at Albany, State University of New York, New York, New York United StatesThe threat of biological catastrophe—including that by AIDS, ebola,avianinfluenza,andspecies extinction—may seem the specific and daunting provenance of late 20th- and early 21st –century life, but it has in fact been a crucial part of history since ancient times. It is important to remember, for instance, that starting in the 14th century and extending well into the 18th, the bubonic plague (as the Black Death) ultimately took the lives of at least 35% of the entire population in Europe, as well as nearly that much in central Asia, killing an estimated total of 75 million people. Given these numbers, it could be argued that premodern and early modern cultures had even more at stake in articulating the role of plague—not to mention the related phenomena of cholera, syphilis, small pox, the so-called English Sweating Sickness, or extensive urban infestations, which are only a few of the shockwaves that preceded our own anxiety about spectacular biological disaster. This symposium therefore proposes rethinking the connections among recent models, representations, or biocultures of biological threat and their counterparts in the pre- and early modern eras.

Feb 26, 2009 - Mar 1, 2009,
New Orleans Marriott , New Orleans, Louisiana United StatesThe American Montessori Society 2009 Annual Conference will be held in New Orleans, LA, a location that continues to experience the effects of the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Inspired by the hope, resiliency, and rebuilding that the world has witnessed in this city, AMS is dedicating the conference to the theme of social justice and global peace.
Central to the conference is Dr. Maria Montessori’s message that we are the keepers of our world and that the peacefulness of humanity depends upon what and how we teach our children. As AMS founder Dr. Nancy McCormick Rambusch said: “What binds Montessori teachers together is a piety toward children—piety as respectful regard, not sentimentality. Whoever deciphers the uniqueness of each child enhances that child’s possibility of becoming his or her fullest. In a world growing increasingly complex and inhospitable to children, this is the simple truth on which Montessori education is built.” Let us continue to build on this simple truth. - full details
