A regulated and effective supply chain is crucial to increasing an organizations’ efficiency, capacity and bottom line. At the Chief Supply Chain Officer & Inventory Optimization Summit on November 5 & 6, thought-leaders from the world’s most well renowned companies will meet in Chicago to discuss the ways that these crucial elements can be improved.

After the success of last year, the summit returns to the InterContinental Chicago with more content and more networking opportunities than ever before. “The diverse speaker line-up will create a dynamic experience for attendees,” said Harriet Connolly, International Events Director at Innovation Enterprise. “With an array of different perspectives to consider, attendees will return to the office full of fresh ideas to implement in their own teams.” In addition, all content will be available post-summit via ieOnDemand.
