The 19th annual Hardlines Technology Forum is over for another year. Professionals in the IT, logistics, merchandising, executive, and finance areas of the hardware / home improvement industry came together to discuss leading technology issues affecting the industry, including Supply Chain Management, Collaboration Tools, Data Sync, 2d Bar Codes, Green IT, Cloud Computing, and much more. The event was held April 19-22, 2009 at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel.

From the exclusive "How To" Do Business sessions to the unique-to HTF Buyer / Manufacturer Solutions in Action and Buyer Panel, and over 40 educational sessions, Forum participants eagerly engaged in lively discussion throughout the conference and learned what the latest retailer requirements are moving forward, among other highlights.

Look for a full recap of HTF in the next issue of The Eagle magazine and check back here soon for highlights of this year's event.
