Welcome to San Francisco 2010
PRICING for the New Economy...
The Professional Pricing Society has presented annual events with pricing thought leaders for 21 years; it makes me even more proud to be your host for this year’s Fall Conference in San Francisco.
Every year we make our events special and relevant. As we prepare to bring businesspeople worldwide together, we feel reaffirmed to our mission of nurturing our community and elevating the Pricing profession.
Our aim is to help you prepare to understand new economic realities and make pricing the key to improve profitability and stimulate growth.
This Fall’s event has been designed to put the best minds together, to create new ideas and to build new ways to increase margins in the context of a new economy. There’s no other event in the world that will allow you to connect with your peers, learn from Pricing Experts, experience the latest Pricing Technologies and share your experiences.
I invite you to take a close look at the impressive program we have compiled for you. It is rewarding to see the Pricing for Executives Summit gaining momentum by building new paths to Senior Management.
The program offers you a great selection of outstanding Workshops to choose from. It also brings the most famous pricing experts delivering their best at the Keynote Addresses and General Sessions and allows you to choose the best specialized pricing presentations to further your career and enhance your company’s bottom line.

We have been able to measure quantifiable increases in profit that we have been able to drive by taking these structured approaches.”
