Welcome to your Infor SCM Connections

How can we make the biggest conference for Infor users a more valuable experience for you this year? By making it smaller.

While there will still be thousands of attendees at Inforum 2008, our SCM customers will have a targeted track for getting connected to colleagues, industry and product experts, information, technology, and training specifically related to Infor Warehouse Management, Transportation Management, and Supply Chain Planning. Whether you’re an executive, line-of-business leader or information technology professional, you can find out where your solutions are headed, hear what peers are doing in the marketplace, and explore new strategies, applications, and technologies.

SCM Connections combines the best of both worlds by joining all the educational and networking opportunities of a large user event with a personalized conference-within-a-conference approach focused on what matters most to your business.

We'll make it easy for you to prearrange Birds-of-a-Feather sessions ahead of the conference or set up sessions on-site. This approach allows you to connect easily with peers about the issues that matter most to you, whether it's related to warehousing optimization strategies, techniques for demand planning, or managing the rising costs of transportation.

Enterprising Square

This informal networking environment is designed as a gathering place for users of our warehousing, transportation, and planning solutions to meet during breaks in the conference activities. Look for the SCM Connections area and get ready to strike up a conversation with your peers.

 

Let's Do Lunch

Looking for SCM peers doesn't have to be like finding a needle in a haystack. This year, attendee badges will reflect a person's specific Infor solutions, and there will be designated SCM Connections tables to make it easier to link up with attendees using the same solutions or to identify others using new applications that might benefit your company.

Solutions Expo

Inforum 2008's Solutions Expo will present you with an exclusive chance to explore and educate yourself about supply chain planning and execution solutions from Infor and Infor partners. This setting will provide the backdrop to meet and talk with our product development and implementation specialists about which Infor and partner products and services can best extend the value of your current solutions.
