EyeForAerospace West 2001 looks set to surpass the organizer's E-commerce for Aerospace USA conference in Seattle, June 2000, the event that firmly established EyeForAerospace as the industry e-business meeting place.
"There have been huge changes for the industry since our last US event, and this latest event will reflect the progress made and where the future of e-business for the industry is heading," says Conference Director, Vicky Smith.
"Then, OEMs were just setting up their initiatives, Exostar wasn't named and companies like AirNewco didn't even exist. The proliferation of players since then is now resulting in mergers, acquisitions and general consolidation throughout the aerospace market. Now, the importance of integrating systems and the need for collaborative commerce is paramount, and will certainly be an important focus at the conference. What companies now have to figure out is what's going to be their strategies from here."
Throughout the duration of the conference, EyeForAerospace are also providing a market specific exhibition of the latest e-commerce solutions for aerospace. Expo attendees can register free at eyeforaerospace.com
