dedicated to Pricing Excellence and Pricing Science.
“Executives with pricing responsibility attend
year after year because this is a truly unique and focused event,”

is no other forum which gives participants the opportunity to learn
about pricing excellence best practices from executives in the trenches –
early adopters and those companies who can share their actual experience
on their Roadmap to Pricing Excellence.”

executives in sales, marketing, finance, operations, pricing, product

revenue opportunities. Key topics include:
