Day 1 | Wednesday 4th November

9:20 AM Keynote Interactive Panel: From Globalisation to Fragmentation: How can you rebalance global, regional and local supply chain strategies to cut dependency without inflating supply chain costs?

        • How are you revisiting your split of global, nearshore, and local supplier network strategies to navigate shifting geopolitics, cost, and supply risk?
        • How can you identify and reduce structural supplier and country dependencies to build resilient networks and avoid creating excess inventory or cost? 
        • How to decide where to hold the line and where to adapt when faced with one crisis after another to ensure decisive action?

        After the panel discussion the audience will be split into roundtables to continue discussion among its own smaller groups.

        Day 2 | Thursday 5th November

        11:10 AM Keynote Presentation: Digital Twins: How to use virtual replicas to simulate production, distribution, and inventory management processes before implementation

        • How to select the right data for digital twin simulations to ensure good data goes in and good results come out
        • How to build realistic, data-driven digital twins of focused models in minutes, not months, to speed up supply chain operations
        • How to simulate, test, and optimise supply chain scenarios to make smarter decisions before disruption hits & avoid making costly real-world changes
