September 7-8, 2006
Holiday Inn on the Hill
Washington, DC, USA
Each year, AIM Global provides a strategic executive summit for members, prospective members, and other key industry thought leaders. The ½-day invitation-only summit focuses on strategic issues that face the industry and provides an opportunity for one-of-a-kind executive peer networking.
Last year’s event, held in Chicago, IL, USA, boasted 165 attendees from many key companies within the industry.
This year, we’ve identified Washington, DC as the venue for the RFID Executive Summit because, as an association, we see a continuing and urgent need for advocacy on behalf of our members and the industry. Meeting in Washington will present an opportunity to identify issues, discuss strategies, and get in front of legislators to educate them about these issues and offer accurate and unbiased resources and realistic solutions. By increasing our visibility within that community, we will influence upcoming decisions or discussions on key issues of privacy and security.
