While innovation is a hallmark of supply chain, it is not relegated to just technology and solution provider companies. That is why we hand out End User Awards to select companies each year during the NextGen Supply Chain Conference.
The End User Awards recognize companies that are implementing new technologies or innovative thinking to transform their supply chains. Honored companies are chosen by an internal panel based on recommendations.
This year’s NextGen Supply Chain Conference End User Award winners are:
Artificial Intelligence: Estée Lauder
Digital Transformation: Schneider Electric
Robotics: S&S Activewear
Each End User Award winner will give a short presentation followed by a panel discussion with all the winners at this year’s conference.
The NextGen Supply Chain Conference, presented by Supply Chain Management Review and Peerless Media, will be held on Oct. 21-23 at the Chicago Athletic Association hotel in downtown Chicago. The event starts with an opening reception on the evening of Monday, Oct. 21, at the famous Chicago hotel, with full days of content following Tuesday and Wednesday.
The NextGen Supply Chain Conference’s theme this year is “Digitization is here, what’s next?” More information, including registration information, is available on the NextGen website.
