About
The World's Most Important Gathering of Supply Chain Leaders
Squeezed between recession and recovery, supply chain executives need a new set of fundamentals to achieve optimal efficiency and agility in their networks. From advanced sales & operations planning (S&OP), to sustainability strategies, and innovative approaches to talent management, executives have new tools at their disposal to achieve supply chain excellence. And none too soon, as global commodity and materials costs are rising much more rapidly than consumers' willingness and ability to pay higher prices. The result: A further squeeze on already-strained supply chains.
After two intensive days of Gartner analyst presentations, success stories from fellow supply chain executives, and roundtables aimed at sharing best practices, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of the success factors and pitfalls to avoid on your journey to supply chain excellence, and a strong set of relationships with peers to help you get there.
