What: 2007 LPS KeyFreight / KeyShip Conference
When: July 11th to July 13th, 2007
Where: St Paul, MN - Crowne Plaza Hotel
Who:Procurement, Accounts Payable, & Logistics (Transportation) personnel
I wish to thank all our clients and guests who attended the 2007 KeyFreight/KeyShip Users Conference July 11th - 13th. The attendee evaluations state that this was the best of the seven conferences LPS has conducted. The conference theme "Freight Management is Not Trivial Business" guided our two days of presentations and workshops. This theme was selected to impress upon all attendees that while we are succeeding to manage your freight efficiently and effectively today, the future in our industry will present all shippers with some dramatic challenges.
The presentations made at the conference were included on the FLASH drives you were given at the start of our conference. We have included them here as well for your further review, reference and sharing. For those LPS clients who could not make the conference, we can say that you were missed and we invite you to review the presentation matter as well. We enjoyed spending time with all our clients and the photo's from the conference project both the work setting and the fun setting of our three days together.
LPS has taken many notes from this conference and will be working diligently to address your ideas and concerns as we move forward in 2007 & 2008. We are excited about out next opportunity to gather together in 2009 and in the interim we will work hard to continue earning your TRUST and your business.
