2ND ANNUAL PRODUCT SHELF-LIFE SYMPOSIUM The Defense Logistics Agency and the Navy Ships Parts Control Center will conduct the 2nd Annual Product Shelf-Life Symposium June 21-22, 1995 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, San Diego, California. In an everchanging economy, it is imperative for suppliers and their customers to maintain open lines of communication and foster mutually beneficial partnerships. This is especially true in the world of government contracting. The objective of this symposium is to bring together government and industry representatives, in an open forum, to exchange ideas and discuss policies associated with product shelf-life. The 1995 symposium theme, ``Partnering to Preserve Our Future,'' has been selected to reflect the need to continue a joint discussion of the many topics and issues affecting our nation's military readiness, as well as our national environment. Specifically, there are many questions within the government and industrial community that currently remain unanswered. We are confident that this symposium, providing an open forum for the exchange of ideas and opportunities, will yield positive results for future methods of product shelf-life. We recommend that government and industry personnel involved in the end item development, research and development, manufacture, wholesale/retail management, and distribution of shelf-life products attend this informative meeting.
