Supply Chain Unplugged at MxD with Kinaxis, EY, Microsoft
Supply Chain Unplugged: Innovation Unfiltered
Our world and industries are undergoing seismic changes, and the supply chain challenges that result are immense. But we don’t need to face them alone. Want to forge a better tomorrow? We can start by sharing knowledge today.
Supply Chain Unplugged is a one-of-a-kind event series that brings together leading supply chain practitioners, thought leaders, partners and academia around the world for open, peer-to-peer conversations about the latest innovations, opportunities and challenges in supply chain management.
Join us for our inaugural event: a unique, half-day forum that will explore possible supply chain futures through a meaningful exchange with top practitioners and thought leaders at the MxD facility in Chicago sponsored by Kinaxis, EY and Microsoft.
From stories of innovative brands pushing the boundaries of what’s possible to world-renowned academics conducting cutting edge research, we’re excited to convene a global supply chain community that focuses on the people driving change. By attending, you’ll walk away with valuable insights on how organizations can unlock new levels of efficiency, resilience, and innovation across the end-to-end supply chain.
In 2024, we have events planned for North America, Europe, and Asia. Each stop will feature compelling keynotes by industry experts, panel discussions on hot button industry issues, live demos/workshops of cutting-edge technologies, and case studies showcasing how practitioners are driving real impact across their supply chains. Stay tuned for more updates!
