This two-day event will help organizations understand what the transition to 2D barcodes means for scanning, printing, data management, software, packaging, traceability and business operations. Through educational sessions, case studies and panel discussions, attendees will learn why preparation is needed now, where common readiness gaps can occur and how companies can successfully plan for implementation while 1D and 2D barcodes continue to coexist. Sponsorship opportunities are available for organizations looking to increase their visibility, demonstrate industry leadership and connect their brand with professionals preparing for the next generation of barcode capabilities.
