The first ever Supply Chain Insights Global Summit is about to be held at the luxurious Phoenician Hotel and Resort in Phoenix, Arizona, September 11 and 12, 2013. It will be my privilege to attend this premier event and provide coverage in this blog and via Twitter (@RDCushing). Follow the hashtag #SCISummit on Twitter for more.
More about this event
We look forward to bringing you news from the Supply Chain Insights Global Summit™. The event is designed to provide keen insights into how to drive excellence in value networks to line-of-business leaders such as supply chain leaders, CFOs, corporate social responsibility leaders, and other supply chain executives and managers.
The formal launch of the Supply Chain Index—a formulaic consolidated supply chain performance metric based on analyses of financial ratios—will kick-off this event. Lora Cecere, founder of Supply Chain Insights, created the SCI (Supply Chain Index) and her opening is bound to supply new levels of acuity into supply chain performance and its relationship to financial success.
Attendees
A broad array of industry leading companies, consulting groups and technology providers will be represented at the summit. These include:
- Accenture
- Capgemini
- Kellogg Company
- Kinaxis
- Logitech
- General Mills
- Ecolab
- Merck, Inc.
- And many, many more too numerous to mention here…
These folks will have opportunity to learn from their industry peers—and those in other industries, as well. They will garner wisdom and insights from panel discussions on topics such as
- Supply chain talent
- Corporate social responsibility
- Supply chain technologies
- Analytics
- Risk management
Add to that the chance to network with high-level supply chain leaders who participate every day in global supply chain execution, and this event cannot help but be a winner in every respect.
Not just another “supply chain event”
The Supply Chain Insights Global Summit has actually been put together at the behest of supply chain leaders who were hungering after deep, insightful content and extensive networking opportunities with their peers in leadership. And, that is precisely what this first-ever event is destined to produce.
Unlike most events, this conference has no exposition hall and no paid speaker slots. This will be a real leadership tete-a-tete.

It will be our privilege to bring you reports from this this two-day global summit, and it is quite likely that the outflow of the summit will lead to additional articles, as well. So, stay tuned.
