2013 Conference Details
WELCOME!
In 2013, our 33rd year, we continue our educational partnership with another exciting program. We are especially pleased to continue our Annual Scholarship Program, sponsored by Avalon Risk Management, Inc., designed to promote professionalism and education in our industry (see "Scholarship" section).
Learn: Improve your business and your career with workshops, panels, roundtable discussions and town hall meetings on timely topics. Stay informed about the latest industry issues and trends.
Participate and Communicate: Support your industry and let your voice be heard by US regulators and legislators on issues that affect your business. Volunteer for a PCC or WESCCON committee. Find out how you can make a difference.
Network: WESCCON offers the best opportunity to meet people in the global logistics industry. Whether by attending or exhibiting, by finding contacts in the Directory of Registrants, or promoting your name as a sponsor, participation in WESCCON gives you the contacts you need. As we often hear from our WESCCON participants, there is no other conference in this industry that offers the educational, networking and social programs for such a reasonable registration fee.
See you in Rancho Las Palmas!
Victoria Lane, PCC President
