Supply Chain and Logistics Conferences to Attend in 2011
I had planned to write about the missing link in transportation business intelligence dashboards, but the weather’s not right for it. Instead, I want to walk through the calendar and highlight several supply chain and logistics conferences you should consider attending this year.
On top of your list, of course, should be our very own seminar “Beyond the Perfect Order Metric: Bringing Together Supply Chain, Category Management, and Mobile Technologies to Improve On-Shelf Availability.” If the great agenda and lineup of speakers (Del Monte Foods, Whirlpool, Lowes, Sony Electronics, Kraft Foods) is not enough to entice you, then maybe envisioning yourself in sunny Orlando, learning and networking with your peers, might do the trick. But don’t wait much longer to register. The seminar is less than four weeks away and space is limited.
You should also make it a priority to attend the user conferences of your supply chain and logistics technology vendors, as well as any events your key 3PL partners organize. These conferences are a great opportunity for you to meet with the senior executives of these companies to let them know what’s working well and what improvements they can make to better serve you. Networking with other customers and learning from their case studies are an added benefit, as well as gaining insight on new product releases and development plans.
Below is a short list of the conference that I or Steve Banker typically attend, often as speakers. The only problem is that many of these event organizers forget that there are twelve months in the year, so they cram as much as possible into May.
