Global supply chain executives will meet to discuss the latest strategies in logistics, distribution, inventory, transportation, and benchmarking and best practices at the Tompkins Supply Chain Consortium’s eighth annual Supply Chain Leadership Forum, August 27-29 in Denver.
“The agenda is packed with small group education sessions, and our tour of MillerCoors Brewery promises an entertaining look at the logistics behind beer making and packaging,” says Bruce Tompkins, Executive Director of the Consortium. “Attendees will leave with fresh ideas for creating higher value in their supply chains.”
The event is being held at the Grand Hyatt Denver and runs from the evening of August 27 to midday August 29. Vice presidents, chief supply chain officers and other directors of leading retail, consumer products, manufacturing, distribution and service provider companies will learn new ways to optimize and transform their supply chains.
“Each year, our event creates a distinct and enjoyable learning experience, bringing participants back for more information on the latest and upcoming supply chain strategies,” adds Tompkins.
Other highlights of the forum:
A special keynote speech, Business at a Crossroads, by Dr. James A. Tompkins;
A panel discussion on Factors Driving Today’s Supply Chain Networks; and
Breakout sessions on hot topics including demand-driven supply chain, sales and operations planning, trucking regulations and supply chain technology trends.
