The global supply chain landscape is currently experiencing a range of new challenges, including the proliferation of e-commerce, a shortage of labour, and geopolitical events. These obstacles are prompting organisations to make substantial investments in next-generation technology to optimise their supply chains. This was the central focus of the recent NextGen Supply Chain Conference, where industry leaders convened to deliberate on the future of supply chains and the technologies that are poised to influence it.
The 5th annual NextGen Supply Chain Conference, hosted in Chicago, brought together more than 20 sponsors/exhibitors, 50 speakers, and 150 delegates to explore the most recent advancements in supply chain management. The conference underscored the significance of embracing technology in order to achieve lean and nimble supply chains.
A notable feature of the event was the acknowledgment of nine industry leaders who are at the forefront of adopting next-generation technologies in their supply chains. The conference included keynote presentations, case studies, and breakout sessions that delved into the transformative impact of robotics, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics in supply chain management.
Participants commended the event for providing valuable insights into the innovative technologies that are driving the evolution of Next Generation supply chains. It served as an invaluable platform for networking, learning, and gaining a deeper understanding of the progress in supply chain technology.
The ever-evolving nature of supply chains has prompted the organisers to commence preparations for the 2024 NextGen Supply Chain Conference. The event will continue to play a pivotal role in assisting companies in embracing transformative changes within their supply chains to ensure future success.
The conference also bestowed awards upon companies that are influencing the future of supply chains. The Startup category was introduced for the first time in 2023, in addition to the Solution Provider, Visionary, and End User categories. Award recipients included companies such as Kimberly-Clark, Gap Inc., Carrier, Macy’s, Covariant, ETQ, Gather AI, Kenco, and LimeLoop.
These companies are making significant progress in navigating the complexities of modern supply chains and preparing for the challenges of the future. Their innovative utilisation of technology in their supply chains has positioned them as leaders within the industry.
The NextGen Supply Chain Conference provided a glimpse into the future of supply chains and the pivotal role that technology will play in shaping the industry.
