Chief Supply Chain Officer Forum

The Future of Supply Chain Strategy and the Role of the CSCO: Game Changers, Disruptive Technology and the Next Generation of Supply Chain Management

The Chief Supply Chain Officer Forum is your fast track to competitive benchmarking, supply chain strategy development, and the assessment of business opportunities. It is also the perfect environment for gaining expert industry insight, exploring the future of the supply chain and gaining new perspective on the evolution of supply chain in the next decade.

I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to meet other senior executives from multiple industries to hear their challenges, and what they are doing to address them.
