CAPS Research 11th Annual Best Practices Workshop

It is not too late to secure your seat at the CAPS Research 11th Annual Best Practices Workshop which is being held on September 26-28 in Phoenix, Arizona, at the Arizona Grand Resort. This year's theme "Creating Value in the New Economy" features an economic outlook for 2011, interactive working sessions, industry case study presentations, and different breakout sessions that focus on two research initiatives: Value-Focused Supply, and Accelerating Innovation through the Supply Base.

The CAPS Research Best Practices Workshops are modeled after the highly acclaimed International Executive Roundtables and are designed for senior executives who usually report to the CPO (or are CPO's themselves) at organizations that are CAPS Research sponsors. The workshop's energetic environment allows high-potential professionals to network within their peer group, share experiences about strategies and processes, and learn first-hand the results of recently completed major research activities.

If your organization is already a CAPS Research sponsor and you are interested in attending this event please contact: ResearchEvents@capsresearch.org.

If your organization is not a CAPS Research sponsor and you would like information on the benefits of sponsorship please contact: research@capsresearch.org.
