WERC
WERC CEO Michael Mikitka addresses attendees at its 2017 Annual Conference in Fort Worth , Texas . The 2018 event takes place in Charlotte , North Carolina
79 % are director level managers , 37 % are practitioners , 21 % are C-suite executives , 20 % are consultants , 18 % are third-party logistics providers — an increase across all titles over the speaker mix percentages of last year ’ s Annual Conference . ( Concerned that some sessions might become a sales pitch ? Don ’ t be . Suppliers only represent 17 % of the speakers — 10 % fewer than in 2017 — and they ’ re primarily sharing case studies or technology selection and implementation tips .)
In addition to filling their brains with three days of learning , the majority of WERC Annual Conference attendees are on a mission to fill their contact lists . That ’ s why the event is specifically designed with numerous opportunities for intimate networking , both in formal and casual settings .
Among the organized networking sessions , Sunday includes a Kick Start Welcome Reception followed by “ Meet and Eat ” dinner outings
