About our 2020 virtual event
On November 10-12, 2020, NextGen Supply Chain Conference brought together an impressive lineup of nearly 600 industry leaders for an impactful, immersive, and interactive experience.
The 2nd annual NextGen Supply Chain Conference presented case studies from industry leaders who are putting emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, the Internet of Things, Predictive Analytics, and Mobile and Piece Picking Robots to work in their supply chains.
Those of us working in the supply chain today recognize that technology will be key to maintaining a competitive advantage in the supply chains of tomorrow. If that wasn’t evident before COVID, it is certainly the case now as we all plot a new course for the supply chains of the future.
