DRS Annual Symposium – September 17 – 19, 2008

Damage Recovery Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce that our annually-sponsored "Members Only" Symposium on Unsaleables & Returned Goods Initiatives will be held September 17-19, 2008 at The Union League of Philadelphia.

DRS hosts this yearly activity strictly for the benefit of our grocery and CPG manufacturer clients in order to facilitate constructive dialogue on multiple topics involving unsaleables and returned goods management issues. At this premier invitation-only industry event, our discussions and presentations focus on strategies that consider and apply best practices to reduce unsaleables deductions and returned goods expense.

DRS understands your significant daily challenges with respect to acceptable unsaleable policy terms, product recovery, product discontinuations, code date markings, packaging changes and many other issues.

Furthermore, in the absence of comprehensive public data from grocery industry trade groups, your company needs reliable DRS Benchmark data more than ever as the best reference point for your company-specific results.

In response, this year’s DRS Symposium will advise attendees on:

• Using DRS Benchmark data for your company’s unsaleables points of comparison for claims processing and product returns
  
  
• Updating your JIR-compliant Unsaleables Policy as the most fair and most cost effective approach for your company and your distributors
  
  
• Managing product returns during packaging conversions
  
  
• Aligning your unsaleables policy with packaging code date practices

Mark these dates now. Beginning July 1, 2008, your full Symposium and registration details will be available on-line at www.damagerecovery.net. Plan to participate in this important industry event.
