Consumer Returns 2008
October 27-29, 2008
Rennaissance Hotel, Atlanta GA


Welcome to Consumer Returns 2008, the only event to focus on returns prevention and optimization strategies in the B2C space.

Targeted at major retailers as well as consumer electronics and appliance manufacturers, Consumer Returns 2008 addresses a growing consensus in the industry that high rates of returns are NOT an acceptable cost of doing business. To protect their profitability (and enhance it), smart companies must do more than merely streamline their reverse logistics processes – they must also work hard to re-engineer the customer experience and prevent returns from happening in the first place.

Consumer Returns 2008 brings together 175+ senior level executives from major retailers and consumer electronics & appliance manufacturers, all seeking to use Consumer Returns 2008’s high-level learning & networking opportunities to minimize their returns rates and pry open their profit margins.
