Driving an error-free flow of goods while reducing cycle time!

At this first retail-only VCF conference, retailers will focus on Merchandise Supplier Management - to drive an error-free flow of goods while reducing cycle time. This is a must-attend for all retail executives and manager-level teams in areas of Supply Chain, Vendor Relations, Vendor Performance Management, Information Technology and Vendor Operations.

Programs will include:

• Receiving audit best practices
  
• Vendor performance metrics
  
• Scorecards and ranking
  
• Supplier data sharing
  
• Vendor compliance communication
  
• Portal best practices
  
• On-boarding new initiatives
  
• Evolution of vendor compliance program
  
• Supplier awards
  

The conference will also provide Open-Forum roundtable discussions that will enable retailers to converge in peer groups that focus on areas in which they specialize. This is an unprecedented opportunity to talk with other retailers with identical responsibilities at their companies.

We will be celebrating VCF's ten-year anniversary with this event in Teaneck, NJ, wrapping up with an evening gala that includes a boat tour around Manhattan. This boat trip will be on the 15th and will also include vendors, as VCF will hold its Spring Conference in Teaneck on June 16th-17th. Retailers are welcome to stay for the first day (16th) for one-on-one meetings with their respective vendors.

Send 4 people at the regular member rate to any one VCF event in 2010 and the 5th person attends for free!
