Trade show will focus on areas of critical interest to same-day delivery industry

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 4, 2008 – The MCAA announced the agenda for its 21st Annual Meeting which will take place on Wednesday, May 14 through Sunday, May 17 at the luxurious Coronado Bay Resort in San Diego, California.

A wide array of outstanding speakers will discuss key topics of critical interest to those engaged in the same-day delivery industry. In addition, the latest in products and services from all the major vendors to the courier industry will be present. Since association members receive a substantial deduction on their registration fees, any courier company considering membership should join now. 

"I joined the MCAA and attended a convention for the first time in 2007. The MCAA staff personally introduced me to several senior Board of Directors and other courier companies in my area,” said Jesus Monroy of Redpack USA, Inc. “Without their help I would never have had such a productive meeting. Because of their hands on approach, I would definitely recommend attendance to anyone considering coming!”

The educational programs are geared toward keeping couriers up-to-date on the latest industry trends that might affect the profitability of their company. The Annual Meeting will offer the following educational sessions:

  1. Keynote Speaker Dan Clark – “The Answers Are Still In The Box”
  2. Building a Defense Strategy Against Employment Claims
  3. Contact Management Software and Maximize Your Web Presence
  4. Alternatives to the Independent Contractor Model
  5. Creating a World Class Customer Service
  6. Operational Efficiencies – How to Improve Your Bottom Line
  7. Government and Legal Affairs Update
  8. How to Become the First Mile – Last Mile Solution for an Air Freight Forwarder

Attendees will have an opportunity to meet industry colleagues during planned networking events, including receptions and breaks in the exhibit hall, dinners, and the golf tournament or free time. Nowhere else can courier owners get the exposure to so much knowledge and experience regarding the delivery industry.
