It has been rewarding to be able to provide an event where our attendees can engage with the very best of the industry’s thought-leaders, suppliers and pioneers, like John Shegerian.”

“We’re grateful to have been asked by the ITAD Summit to participate in these spirited discussions about the role the circular economy plays in the IT asset disposition field at such an important conference,” said Shegerian. "It’s essential that we as an industry focus on the various ways we can innovate sustainably. And each step of the way, we must never lose sight of the importance of responsible recycling.”
