Agenda & Overview
Global User & Partner Conference
March 28, 2017 On behalf of Descartes, welcome to West Palm Beach for our 12th annual Global User and Partner Conference! Whether this is your first event or you have attended Evolution in the past, we would like to thank you for your participation in this valuable forum for learning, networking and sharing. Thank you to the customer volunteers who joined our Global User Group Steering Committee. Your insights and leadership in the many months leading up to the event have been instrumental in the planning process for the conference. We also greatly appreciate our United by Design partners for their participation and sponsorship. The event theme set by our Global User Group Steering Committee this year is Logistics Excellence: Now and in the eFuture. While logistics-intensive companies are accustomed to uncertainty, our theme calls attention to the need to continue to thrive and grow amidst the growing magnitude of geopolitical, technology, and market-driven changes facing our industry over the coming years. Descartes remains committed to innovating for the future to help our customers and partners excel both today and tomorrow. We have a packed agenda designed to address these challenges and opportunities including user training, peer group and product roadmap discussions, new industry benchmark studies, and more. The program also features more customer success stories, customer panel discussions, and industry expert presentations than ever before. Be sure to take advantage of the invaluable opportunity to hear from your peers at BC Sands, Clean Harbors, Origin Energy, Schwan’s, Core-Mark, CVS Health, Dunbar Armored, Estes Level2 Logistics, Hallmark Cards, American Hotel Register, Cabela’s, Buckle, Cimpress, Scandinavian Tobacco, Northrop Grumman, PwC, Vigilant, US Foods, The Home Depot, Iron Mountain, UPS, DHL eCommerce and others. We look forward to engaging you over the next few days and hope that Evolution 2017 provides you with a productive, informative and enjoyable forum for learning more about Descartes, our partners and each other. Sincerely, Edward J. Ryan, CEO The Descartes Systems Group Inc.
