This year's invitation-only event, held in Gleneagles, Scotland (near Edinburgh), June 9 -11, focuses on increasing a company's supply chain agility to deal with change, including pioneering new ways to segment supply chains, collaborate with customers and tightly align product development with the supply chain.
"I am honored to have this opportunity to speak to industry leaders on how we have used technology from Amber Road to integrate hundreds of suppliers, realize a 2-3% percent product cost savings, and create a unified and cohesive logistics, compliance and procurement process," said Wainwright. "SCM World Leaders Forum is one of the world's premier supply chain events, bringing together top executives and thought leaders to gain insight into addressing today's global supply chain issues."
Now in its third year, the SCM World Leaders Forum is the annual retreat for the world's supply chain, procurement and operations elite, bringing together the most influential C-level executives from the SCM World community together with selected thought leaders from across industry.
