GS1 General Assembly 2013 and Global Leadership Summit mark GS1 40th anniversary and great opportunities for the 40 years to come
GS1 held an inaugural Global Leadership Summit with this year’s annual GS1 General Assembly to mark the 40th anniversary of industry leaders coming together to select a single standard for product identification, known today as the GS1 bar code.
With this historical milestone in mind, GS1 has selected “Learning from the Past, Focusing on the Future” as the theme of the combined meeting, which has been held in Los Angeles, California from May 20-23 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The General Assembly and Global Leadership Summit programmes celebrated GS1’s first 40 years and look ahead to how GS1 can position industry and customers for growth and continued success in the next 40 years.
