The Supply Chain Management Summit
Supply Chain Innovation — Engine for Growth
Welcome to Aberdeen’s 2013 Supply Chain Management Summit. We are excited
to feature a powerful lineup of supply chain executives from some of the world’s
most preeminent organizations. Over the next two days, we are confident that you
will gain new insights into what industry leaders are doing with process, technology, and
human capital to build an interconnected, resilient and intelligent supply chain; one
that embraces growth opportunities, manages risk and leverages innovation to create
competitive advantage.
Aberdeen’s goal is to ensure that you leave the Summit empowered around the role of
the Chief Supply Chain Officer. Addressing global growth and complexity will require
“collaborative optimization” of both cost and service. We hope that you will enjoy networking
with your peers and other recognized supply chain leaders as we share new innovations and
key transformational initiatives being adopted to fuel growth.
We would like to thank our valued sponsors and partners for their involvement with the Summit
and for continuing to enhance visibility and insight into the supply chain transformation arena.
We trust that the Summit will serve you well and that you will receive the actionable
recommendations you need to take back to your organization. Thank you for being an
integral part of this event. We look forward to speaking with you over the next two days.
