Session Overview

Supply Chain is essential to fulfilling the 4 Ps and 3 Cs of Marketing. For example, the Product must be placed, manufactured, and delivered to meet growing customer expectations. Ultimately, the supply chain is a strategic partner for go-to-market success. At the same time, new and emerging tools and technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning are revolutionizing what is possible.
