ITWO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The economic volatility of the last 18 months has put an increased focus
on the need for agility, responsiveness and greater global collaboration

ahead. i2 Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITWO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) can help.

"We understand the supply chain pressure companies continue to face and
have designed this forum to give them the opportunity to learn more
about how to gain greater efficiencies, mitigate risk and plan for an
uncertain future through a focus on supply chain excellence," said Hiten
Varia, executive vice president, Global Customer Operations and chief

interact with their peers. We believe this event will provide the
opportunity for the robust discussion, learning and information sharing
that they are seeking."
