Thank you to our sponsors: You make NextGen possible

As we prepare to welcome 200-plus people to Nashville later this week for our annual NextGen Supply Chain Conference, I want to take a moment, on behalf of our entire Supply Chain Management Review, Peerless Media, and NextGen Supply Chain Conference team and Advisory Board to say thank you to the sponsors who made this year’s event possible.

Every year, the NextGen Supply Chain Conference brings together the people, technologies, and ideas defining the future of supply chain management. From AI and automation to digital transformation and robotics, the conversations that happen here don’t just predict the future, they help shape it. And that wouldn’t happen without the support of our sponsors.

The power of partnership

Our sponsors are more than logos on a banner—they’re collaborators who share our vision for what’s next. Their support allows us to host world-class keynotes, showcase groundbreaking innovations, and create meaningful networking experiences that connect leaders across industries.

From the thought-provoking sessions and small group discussions to the receptions, lunches, and award celebrations, each moment at NextGen is made richer by their partnership. Whether sponsoring a panel, a coffee break, or an evening reception, every sponsor contributes to the energy and excellence that define this event.

The NextGen Supply Chain Conference kicks off Wednesday night, Oct. 22, with an opening reception. A full day of conference sessions follows on Thursday, Oct. 23, with an evening cocktail reception. Friday, Oct. 24, brings a half day of sessions, wrapping up by noon time. The entire event will take place at the W Nashville hotel in Nashville, Tennessee.

Conference registration is still ongoing.

Driving the future together

What continues to inspire me each year is seeing how sponsors and attendees engage with one another, not as vendors and customers, but as partners tackling shared challenges. The discussions that happen between sessions at networking sessions, and over morning coffee or evening drinks, often spark the very innovations we’ll be talking about in the years to come.

As we look ahead to 2026, I’m confident the spirit of partnership that defines NextGen will continue to grow. Together, we’re building smarter, more resilient, and more connected supply chains.

To every sponsor, speaker, and attendee who helped make this year’s event possible—thank you. Your belief in the power of collaboration is what makes NextGen truly special.
