Supply Chain Leaders Release 2025 Event Brochure Focusing on Visibility and Sustainability

The latest brochure for the 2025 supply chain event has been released, spotlighting key themes such as real-time visibility and sustainability. This event aims to address the numerous challenges and opportunities that the industry faces, particularly in an era of rapid change and increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs).

Real-Time Supply Chain Visibility and Collaboration

A major focus of the event will be on enhancing real-time supply chain visibility. This is seen as essential for navigating the disruptions and uncertainties that have become commonplace in the industry. The emphasis is on driving collaboration and data sharing among supply chain stakeholders to ensure smoother operations and improved decision-making.

With supply chains facing nonstop disruptions, the need for resilient and collaborative leadership has become more pressing. Senior decision-makers from global logistics firms are increasingly recognizing the importance of building trust and collaboration within their networks to bolster resilience and performance.

Sustainability in Supply Chains

Building sustainable and compliant supply chains is another crucial topic highlighted in the event brochure. With the rising demand for EVs and other environmentally friendly technologies, supply chains must adapt to support these shifts. The need for sustainable practices is not just a moral imperative but also a strategic necessity as companies navigate complex regulatory environments.

ASCM has identified the top 10 supply chain trends, underscoring the importance of sustainability and compliance in contemporary logistics operations. This focus aligns with the broader industry trend towards reducing environmental impact and ensuring long-term operational viability.

Addressing Human Capital and Leadership Challenges

Logistics operations are currently facing a human capital crisis, exacerbated by leadership turmoil within the industry. Over half of executives report issues related to leadership turnover, which threatens supply chain resilience and performance. The event will address these concerns, emphasizing the need for strong, adaptable leadership to guide organizations through ongoing challenges.

Participants will explore strategies for overcoming these human capital challenges, including fostering a culture of trust and collaboration. The importance of resilient leadership is underscored by the ongoing disruptions and the need for supply chain leaders who can navigate uncertainty effectively.

Educational Workshops and Key Trends

TPM26, part of the event, will feature the return of the TPM Academy, offering 45-minute educational workshops on a variety of topics. These sessions will cover critical areas such as tariff strategies and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on supply chains. Participants will also have the opportunity to explore trade and maritime policy trends that are reshaping the logistics landscape.

Using digital tools for demand forecasting is another key area of focus. These tools are becoming increasingly important as companies strive to predict and respond to demand fluctuations more accurately. By leveraging technology, supply chains can enhance their agility and responsiveness, mitigating the impact of disruptions.

"In a rapidly evolving industry, real-time visibility and sustainability are no longer optional but essential components of a successful supply chain strategy."

The 2025 event promises to provide valuable insights and strategies for supply chain professionals seeking to enhance visibility, promote sustainability, and navigate the myriad challenges facing the industry today.
