​The COVID-19 pandemic turned global supply chains into the world’s worst group project — factory shutdowns, labor shortages, transportation bottlenecks, and erratic consumer demand left everyone scrambling to fix the mess and pull some extra weight.

This event will dive into how cutting-edge technologies like robotics, AI, and IoT are turning chaos into order by streamlining logistics, enhancing efficiency, and tackling long-standing challenges in the movement of goods.

​From automating warehouses to improving real-time tracking, this panel discussion will cover how these innovations are reshaping the future of supply chains and enabling businesses to meet growing demands — and help avoid getting another F, should another global catastrophe come along.
