As supply chains continue to evolve in response to global disruptions, shifting customer expectations, and rapid technological advancements, manufacturers across sectors are rethinking how they operate and adapt.

Join us for a timely panel discussion featuring supply chain leaders from diverse corners of the manufacturing world. Together, we'll explore the trends they’re seeing in the short to mid-term—what’s emerging, what’s accelerating, and how they’re preparing their organizations for what’s next.
