It’s not too late to register for the NextGen Supply Chain Conference

Have you registered for next week’s NextGen Supply Chain Conference, SCMR’s virtual event that puts technology on display for senior leaders? It kicks off next Tuesday, November 2. If not, there’s still time to register here. And, you can review the agenda here. There’s a saying that COVID accelerated changes that were already going on in the supply chain my months rather than years. That is especially true of the launch of digital transformation initiatives and the adoption of NextGen technologies, such as robotics, AI, Machine Learning and predictive analytics. It has also kick started interested in autonomous vehicles and drones. The term I hear over and over when I talk to supply chain managers is the imperative to innovate. Indeed, chief innovation officer or VP of innovation is clearly a thing.
