Don't get left behind - Be part of the worldwide forum for green logistics where the new industry standards will be discussed and decided

There is a rash of green conferences for manufacturers and retailers appearing these days, but what actually comes out of them is hard to pin-down. The goal of the Green Transportation & Logistics Conference is different - it's to assemble the group of industry executives who actually make the decisions and have the ability to follow-up this meeting with real changes to the way their companies do business. The idea is not to talk about what could be done - it's to decide what must be done and how and why to do it.

With this in mind, the format of the Conference will include both informative presentations and key meetings where industry players from all verticals and modes will pro-actively decide what environmental performance improvements are reasonable and necessary for their sectors, working ahead of government compliance regulations. These committees will then present their findings to the delegation and ask their colleagues to join them in pledging their intention to strive to reach these green targets within a twelve month timeframe.

If you want a say in these key decisions, and want to be one of the thought leaders in this area, you need to join your colleagues and peers at the Green Transportation & Logistics Conference Middle East

This is not an elite group: though the CEOs and Senior Level executives will all be there, the Conference - and the opportunity it brings - is open to all companies of all sizes, whether they are experts in green logistics, or are only getting started. The point is that no matter what stage you have reached, now is the time to decide the next steps you will be taking, over the next couple of months , to bring your greening efforts up to speed.
