Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conference

ACT: Aspire, Challenge and Transform in a Disruptive World

Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conference 2017 is the world’s most important gathering of supply chain leaders. Disruptions large and small confront today’s supply chains on a daily basis.

As an attendee at this year’s Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conference 2017, May 23 – 25 in Phoenix, Ariz., chief supply chain officers and their leadership teams will learn to recognize the impacts of disruptions and create transformational strategies that empower the organization to exceed performance expectations.

For three intensive days of analyst-led sessions, workshops, case studies and peer-to-peer exchange, supply chain leaders will learn breakthrough strategies to accelerate efficiency, capacity and bottom-line results in a highly disruptive world.

Key topics to be covered:

• Strategy and transformation

• Talent and leadership

• Organization and future trends

• Data analytics and cost-to-serve

This track focuses on the supply chain leader who is looking for the next area of supply chain to master or is entering the next phase of supply chain improvement and is in need of the tools and techniques to get there.

C. Supply Chain Planning

Supply chains are continuing to grow in complexity, as the demand volatility and customer expectations are increasing. This track challenges supply chain planning leaders to think big. Transform your business and supply chains to become better prepared for both predictable and unexpected future events.

D. Customer Service and Logistics

Advanced bimodal supply chains, increasing customer demands, regulatory changes, and geographic and demographic shifts are transforming the way businesses think about logistics.

E. Supplier Management and Manufacturing

Supply chain and manufacturing strategy leaders and chief procurement officers (CPOs) are pressured to manage two distinct approaches to strategy and business model shifts: promoting innovations without compromise to profitability and maintaining consistency.
