Reshoring and near-shoring have been part of the supply chain conversation for over a decade. That conversation certainly got a boost during the trade wars, and again as logistics and supply chain managers face one disruption after another caused by the pandemic. This level of risk has been difficult—if not impossible—to plan for, and it has most certainly been a major wake-up call for companies around the world.

So, what’s really going on with reshoring, near-shoring and offshoring, and what are the factors to consider before bringing production back to North America--or moving them anywhere else?

In this session, our presenter brings her 40 years of global supply chain and trade experience to the table to discuss the strategies global supply chain managers need to consider before they re-design their supply chains, and the questions they should ask before moving production.

Attendees will better understand:

• What industries are most active in reshoring and near-shoring and why
• What alternate strategies and countries are now under consideration
• When and why it can make economic sense to offshore
