The conference will feature executive presentations by end users who have deployed RFID technology to save money and improve efficiencies. Executives from Marks and Spencer, Gillette International, Airbus, Tesco and TG Post are among the noted presenters. The event will be led by global RFID expert Mark Roberti, founder and editor of RFID Journal, and Jonathan Collins, RFID Journal's Europe Editor. “Like our U.S. conference, this will be an invigorating experience, with leading early adopters sharing insight and strategies with those hungry for information about RFID. The leaders assembled by RFID Journal editors will discuss critical deployment issues helping those companies who are just becoming familiar with RFID or those that are well on their way to implementation,” said Roberti. “Focusing on the business benefits and challenges of deploying RFID technologies, RFID Journal LIVE! Europe will present attendees with a forum to network with other senior executives, as well as see the latest technology from the leading RFID vendors.” RFID Journal events focus on the needs and concerns of executive end users.
