Global Destination for Supply Chain Leaders

The Digital Supply Chain Institute (DSCI) of the Center for Global Enterprise is pleased to announce the 12th Executive Leadership Forum on September 25-26, 2024, in Panama City, Panama. We are proud to be collaborating with Narval on this event. This invitation-only event will bring together no more than 100 supply chain leaders from around the world. The theme for the Forum is “Connecting Continents and Global Supply Chains.”

The Forum will illustrate the evolution of supply chain transformation, focusing on the new strategic value of Central and South America to operating globally. It will explore the role of digital technology, data, talent, and cybersecurity in reshaping global supply chains amid geopolitical and geo-economic changes. Attendees will gain insights into key supply chain strategies and tools, and renowned business leaders will share their experiences and lessons learned. Highlights include discussions on Leveraging Digital Supply Chains, ESG Compliance and its role in Digital Transformation, Open-Source e-Bill of Lading, and Supply Chain Constellations of Value.

Participants will also have the opportunity to network with global leaders, engaging with a global community of supply chain owners and decision-makers. They will explore innovations by identifying cutting-edge technologies and strategies to transform supply chain operations, and shape discussions by joining interactive networking sessions to discuss challenges and share insights.

Supply chain leaders, C-level executives, directors, and executive managers from enterprise cross-functional departments.
