WERC Matters<\/h4>\n

\"michaelBY MICHAEL MIKITKA<\/span>, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF MHI\u2019S KNOWLEDGE VALUE CENTER AND WERC<\/p>\n

\"wercA<\/span>s the only organization focused on providing resources to help distribution practitioners and suppliers do their jobs better, the Warehouse Education and Research Council (WERC)\u2014a division of MHI\u2014has some of the most unique offerings in our field. Through WERC, members find both education and support from their peers to master warehousing, logistics and distribution best practices.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s one thing to read about those membership benefits, experiencing them is even better. That\u2019s why attending WERC\u2019s Annual Conference for Logistics Professionals is frequently cited by members\u2014including practitioners, third-party logistics (3PL) service providers, consultants, and suppliers\u2014as one of the top highlights of their participation in the organization.<\/p>\n

Why? Because the WERC Annual Conference delivers a full immersion into the educational resources and professional networking opportunities our organization is known for. This comprehensive, four-day symposium brings industry practitioners together for a jam-packed, dynamic slate of activities, stimulating discussion and relationship-building.<\/p>\n

The WERC Annual Conference is a hub of informative keynote sessions, presentations on a diverse range of topics from industry thought leaders, and facility tours. In both organized and informal peer-to-peer conversations, attendees discuss the latest challenges they face and share ideas and experiences. Event sponsors also offer overviews of products and services that can help improve efficiency and productivity in no-pressure Solutions Partner Studio Sessions. Annual Conference participants are free to custom-tailor their experience by choosing among multiple concurrent educational sessions to join the ones they find most relevant to their needs.<\/p>\n

We understand, however, that not everyone can get away from their operation to travel to an event. That\u2019s why we record a select number of sessions from each WERC Annual Conference, including the 45th such gathering held this past May in Louisville, KY. These recordings offer anyone\u2014WERC member or not\u2014an opportunity to fully immerse themselves into not only the Annual Conference experience, but also a sampling of the types of education, information, research and reports members can access at any time.<\/p>\n
