Here's what attendees at the SMC³ 2008 Winter Conference said about their experience:

“Absolutely another 100% up to the minute coverage from top of the line presenters of many of today’s hottest issues.”

–Richard Matthews, logistics manager, Lund International
“I have attended many Transportation / Logistics conferences over my 20+ years in this business.  This year, for the first time, I decided to give the SMC³ conference a try.  What I found was a group of sessions and speakers that were relevant and on point.  All the topics covered were very timely in today's industry.  Most impressive was that the speakers had the expertise needed to convey very clear and informed messages.  In addition, I did not find myself sitting through "sales presentations" disguised as informational sessions, which I have seen with other conferences.

All the sessions were spaced well, appropriate length, and had an appropriate amount of redundancy to maintain the overall message of the conference.  All peripheral activities were well planned and well executed.

Bottom line–this conference had the most "bang for the buck" of any I've attended. ”

–Stephen J. Bolger, director, logistics, Highsmith Inc.
