The presentation will take place on August 13, beginning at 1:30 p.m.. The show will take place August 13 & 14, Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC. Avery Dennison is the show's Cornerstone Sponsor.

Avery Dennison is the apparel industry's leading supplier of RFID technology and currently provides 90% of RFID tags used in the apparel fashion retail environment.

Reeves Great Hall.

The Leadership Forum presentation will address how apparel producers can start small with minimum RFID investment and rapidly achieve a return on investment.

In addition, the speakers will cover total RFID solutions, implementations and ROI, and provide an overview of Avery Dennison's global infrastructure and network of partnerships with expert RFID vendors. Partnerships with companies such as Vue Technology and Motorola enable Avery Dennison to deliver total RFID solutions and help customers gain a competitive advantage during these challenging trading times.

The presentation will include summaries of RFID case studies that focus on active programs of retailers and brand owners across the globe.

Dedicated talks titled “The Retail Business Case for RFID” and “Practical Implementation Issues” will be of particular interest to persons seeking information on RFID investment and tips on RFID program start-up.
