Neither snow nor rain nor dark of night…. will keep me from the Supply Chain Insights Global Summit!


Mother Nature thought she was going to best me and keep me from the 2019 SCI Global Summit in Chicago, but I got the last laugh. I may have arrived more than 5 hours later than expected due to delayed flights (and it is only a 5.5-hour drive!) but the opening reception and Women In Supply Chain dinner last night made my earlier airport lounging well worth the struggle.

So, today, I kick off my 4th annual Global Summit – Imagine.  Yes, we are imaging Supply Chain 2030 and I am so excited.  So many familiar faces from previous summits and the Network of Network group mixed with excited and energetic newcomers.  Does it get any better?  The crème de la crème of Supply Chain professionals and technologists coming together to discuss, debate, envision and influence supply chain processes, functions and technologies. 

If you weren’t able to attend the summit, it is being streamed.  Even if you can only catch a few minutes, I can promise you that it will both educate and challenge.  Challenge you to think about supply chain not just as a function or a role but a key competitive advantage to grow your business, satisfy your customers, support your employees.  In a world with ever increasing uncertainty, supply chain is the work horse that gets things done.  But, we can do so much more.  We can collaborate better.  We can learn more.  We can apply intelligence in new and innovative ways.  I’m pretty excited about Supply Chain 2030 and day 2 of the SCI Global Summit.
