2005 Implementer's Course Saturday, February 12, 2005 Renaissance Hotel Washington 999 9th Street, N.W. [map] Washington, DC 20001-4427

In this half day seminar you will learn about the EPC Network from the people who invented it.

Without a thorough, workable knowledge of the practicalities of RFID and the ever changing intricacies of the EPC network, adoption could be slow, expensive and painful. The question is where do you go to get clear, accurate, up-to-date and, most importantly, unbiased information?
