Welcome to the World of Possible will highlight new supply chain strategies in the face of evolving consumer demand

RedPrairie Corporation, a productivity solutions provider, announced keynote and customer speakers recently for its upcoming user conference, RedShift:2011, Welcome to the World of Possible. RedShift, to be held May 16-19 at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, in Scottsdale, Ariz., generates new ideas and information-sharing on how to improve workforce, inventory and transportation operations through product updates, customer-led breakout sessions and various networking opportunities. Registration is now open at RedPrairie.com/RedShift

This year's conference will feature two keynote speakers. Patrick Dixon, author of SustainAgility and ranked among the 20 most influential business thinkers alive today, will discuss how partnerships, innovation, economies of scale, and "going green" will help companies achieve next-generation efficiencies and synergies across their supply chains. In addition, Erik Qualman, author of Socialnomics, will speak about the future of social search and social commerce, when new products and services will find consumers - not the other way around.

RedPrairie customers take a lead role in educational sessions at RedShift by providing real-world examples for optimizing supply chain and retail operations. This year's customer presenters include Kimberly-Clark, AT&T, Dunkin' Brands, Del Monte, and Avnet, among others. Microsoft and LXE are, once again, the conference's Platinum Sponsors, in a strategic alliance that has gone to a fourth consecutive year. In addition, Hewlett-Packard and Vocollect, a business unit of Intermec, Inc., are the conference's Silver Sponsors.

"It's no secret that supply chain networks have some new challenges to face in 2011," said RedPrairie CEO Mike Mayoras. "This year, our organization hopes to help our customers make the impossible possible with innovative technology, and an empowered workforce."
