Listen, I get it. As a former supply chain executive, myself, I know how challenging it can be to carve out time for professional development amidst the demands of a fast-paced career. But I can assure you that the upcoming EDGE Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition 2024 will provide a significant return on your investment.
EDGE 2024 is far more than a conference; it is a gateway to tools and knowledge that can drive innovation and success across your global supply chain. This year’s conference—taking place from September 29 to October 2 in Nashville, Tennessee—will provide the following opportunities:
1. To learn from the best. We have some heavy hitters lined up to share their insights through a robust offering of educational sessions, workshops, and panel discussions
I’m looking forward to hearing from our two keynote speakers: Roberto Isaias, executive vice president and chief supply chain officer at Mattel, and Shelley Simpson, President of J.B. Hunt Transport Services. Roberto will tell an inspiring story about how Mattel transformed its supply chain to drive the company’s mission of creating innovative toys and experiences (and respond to demand from the Barbie movie). Meanwhile Shelley is a true visionary in the world of transportation and logistics, and she’s got some killer strategies for career growth.
2. To gain a global perspective. This year’s EDGE theme promises to provide you with insights into the true state of the global supply chain. You also will have the opportunity to connect with a global community of supply chain professionals, learn from diverse perspectives, and maybe even strike up some game-changing collaborations.
3. To push boundaries. Let’s face it, supply chains have come a long way, but there’s always room for improvement. Our Supply Chain Exchange Exhibition allows you to explore the latest groundbreaking products and services from top providers.
4. To expand your professional network. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with peers, industry leaders, and potential partners through networking events, meetups, and social activities. These connections can lead to valuable collaborations, mentorship opportunities, and lifelong friendships.
The supply chain profession is evolving rapidly, and staying ahead of the curve requires continuous learning. By attending EDGE 2024, you’ll be positioning yourself and your organization to not just keep pace with industry changes but to lead them. I invite you to join us in Nashville for an unforgettable experience that will elevate your supply chain expertise and inspire you to achieve new heights.
