Confirmed speakers at this year's summit include the VP, Supply Chain at Black & Decker, Senior Director, Demand Planning at Clif Bar Company and the VP, Supply Chain at Guthy Renker who will be discussing how her firm has rebuilt its supply chain with real time data.

In addition to keynote presentations from industry leading companies, delegates will also benefit from interactive discussions about the role that S&OP has to play in the CPG industry as well as panel sessions on how S&OP leaders can work with finance to deliver game changing value.

A previous attendee working in global planning at Hersheys noted: "these events are a really great opportunity to meet other colleagues in the industry and it has been a real eye-opener, when you think that you know the processes, you hear the presenters explaining it more and you really understand what you should be doing. Overall it's been a great learning experience."

Yulia Ivanova, International Events Director for The Innovation Enterprise added "senior level S&OP leaders are faced with so many challenges in the current environment, this interactive summit was created to bring together a close knit community of S&OP leaders working in the CPG industry to address the challenges they face on a daily basis. Taking into account the economic climate and the rapid advancements in the industry, there is real value in connecting with others and realizing that your peers are facing the same difficulties as you."
