LogiCon 2009
January 27-29, 2009
JW Marriott Buckhead
Atlanta, GA
At our 10th anniversary event, learn from industry experts about ways you can boost sales, control inventory costs, overcome transportation challenges, maximize internal and external supply chains and prosper in an increasingly competitive landscape.
What’s new for LOGICON 2009?
The Bad News:
Significant fluctuations in fuel prices are bearing down on supply chain, necessitating a variety of actions to mitigate costs.
A downturn in the US economy and decline in consumer activity mean reduced profit for many companies, which, combined with unpredictable fuel prices, necessitate widespread cost-cutting.
What you can do about it at LOGICON 2009:
Collaboration remains at the forefront of the agenda, as manufacturers and retailers work even more closely to identify shared transportation opportunities and more accurate inventory management and S&OP.
Sustainability content grows, as companies are seeing the cost benefits of greening their supply chain in a down economy.
Global Logistics Summit is an expansion of the Global Logistics and Transportation Day of the 2008 program. New content this year includes customs and compliance and discussions on the port challenges facing the US.
