Customer dynamics and emerging technologies will be the topics at the New England Supply Chain Conference and Expo (NESCON) summit hosted by the local membership chapters of the Association of Supply Chain Management (ASCM).
NESCON 2021 is a single full-day summit with a visionary theme: Supply Chain 2030—A Bridge to the Future. The virtual conference is free to attend and will be held online Monday, October 4, 2021, from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm EDT.
Kenneth Glasser, NESCON executive producer / Chair, and current local ASCM chapter Board of Director:
“This summit is part of the supply chain community’s goal to inform the regional manufacturers and distributors about and trends that will create significant impact for businesses. We will put the best ideas and practices in front of top decision-makers, and provide a place where they can learn and discuss the pressing needs of the evolving supply chain ecosystem. Our vibrant community has embraced these once-a-year summits, even online, that convene top thinkers and doers. Making the summit free and virtual has made it very accessible to all supply chain professionals.”
The NESCON 2021 agenda includes provocative keynotes and expert technical presentations, on current economic conditions and uncertainties affecting trade and employment, new adaptive processes in sales and operations, technology forecasts and roadmaps for 2030, and expert insights into the future of work and customer-driven business transformation.
