ATC Logistics & Electronics’ Dan Gardner to Discuss Business Development Best Practices at 8th Annual 3PL Summit Presented by eyefortransport Panel comprised of supply chain experts at world’s largest event for 3PL providers and users FORT WORTH, Texas, June 7, 2010 – ATC Logistics & Electronics (ATCLE), a subsidiary of ATC Technology Corporation (ATC) (NASDAQ:ATAC), has announced that Dan Gardner, vice president of business development, will participate as a panelist at the 8th Annual 3PL Summit presented by eyefortransport, June 21-23, 2010, at the Intercontinental Buckhead Hotel in Atlanta. His session, “Take Your 3PL Sales and Marketing Strategy to the Next Level: Compete with the best for the most profitable contacts,” will be held June 23 at 2 p.m. in the Chief Supply Chain Officer Forum. “Even as the economy recovers from a recession, it is highly unlikely that companies will resume previous spending and operational levels,” said Gardner. “Business models are changing, as such, developing strategies to generate sales will be an even greater challenge requiring a solutions-based approach, as opposed to a non-flexible offering. Going forward, there will be a need for complete organizational alignment and sufficient resources available to ensure that sales and marketing efforts are as effective as possible. This panel will be an excellent opportunity to explore best practices to identify, pursue and ultimately, secure new customers.” The 3PL Summit is coined as the world’s largest event for 3PL buyers and users. More than 400 senior level executives will gather for a variety of keynote presentations, strategy sessions and networking opportunities. The summit is presented by eyefortransport, a provider of logistics and transportation information and services. For more information, visit: http://events.eyefortransport.com/3pl/.
