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.

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.
