important strategic focus for Descartes’ 8,000+

customers and partners located in more than 60

countries around the world. Descartes Evolution 2013 is

a forum for Descartes users and partners to share the

solutions knowledge and operational best practices that

are driving today’s world class supply chains. It provides

an engaging opportunity to explore the role of

Descartes’ federated Global Logistics Network in uniting

participants from across the global logistics market,

standardizing processes and managing all aspects of

resources in motion.

the conference to learn how to drive further

improvements within their operations, meet the

Descartes product management team, provide input on

product development plans, network with industry

colleagues and learn more about complementary

solutions provided by Descartes’ partners.

the centrally located exhibit space and the networking

receptions. Business development opportunities at the

conference will include logo placement on key

conference materials, one-on-one meetings and

opportunities. Plus, with Descartes recently extending

its ecosystem through its ‘United By Design’ strategic

alliance program, sponsors have a unique and

unprecedented opportunity to create awareness with

a global network of organizations that are all working

together to achieve a common goal.

Descartes’ Global User & Partner Conference, Evolution 2013, is taking
