CONNECTED TO WHAT’S NEXT
Where Europe’s Industry Leaders Shape the Future of Supply Chains
Supply chain decisions now determine margin, delivery reliability and the pace at which a company can change. They are made at board level, under cost pressure, with incomplete information.
One day. No sales pitches. Peer-level discussion you can act on.
Why It Is Worth Your Day
- ✔See how peers cut supply chain cost and lead time under real constraints
- ✔Judge where AI already pays back — and where it does not
- ✔Compare decisions with executives facing the same disruption in other sectors
- ✔Meet suppliers, partners and investors without a sales cycle in between
- ✔Leave with a shortlist of moves you can take to your next board meeting
“The future will not be built by companies working in isolation. It will be built by industries working together.”
