Second annual RFID Seminar Series will convene at Baylor University's
Hankamer School of Business, Waco, Texas, U.S.A.



September 28-29, 2006



The theme of this seminar series is the use of RFID (radio frequency
identification) in supply chains.  Sessions will address the massive
interest in this old technology, which is changing the landscape of
integrated supply chains.  The use of RFID ranges from asset tracking to
cashless payment to homeland security, and more.  RFID technology is as
an emerging technology with great potential to take significant costs
out of the supply chain dynamics; speakers at the event will discuss
RFID strategies and implementation used to accomplish this.
