11.30: Panel Discussion: Are supply chain stresses transforming the future of
American trade?
50 minute panel


More than two years after the pandemic, supply chain woes continue and those
navigating the tumultuous times struggle to answer the question: when will the
disruptions end? In January The Economist noted that product travel time to
America from Asia was up to 114 days, a significant leap from 50 days three
years earlier—increasing expense and frustration. These pressures are
exacerbated by geopolitical tensions, rising inflation, labour shortages, higher
fuel costs and extreme weather. An unpredictable and complicated future is at
hand, posing the question whether companies should make major changes to their
current operational models?

The Biden administration has done little to reverse trade rifts with China and
advocates building long-term resilience throughout American supply chains
through a number of initiatives focused on encouraging more domestic
manufacturing. If bringing production closer to home takes hold, companies could
see the current model of globalisation redrawn.
This panel will look at the global commercial landscape and answer the
questions:

 * What will the future global trade model look like?
 * Will nearshoring make supply chains more robust and dependable?
 * Will further technology integration continue to contribute to
   “slowbalisation”?
 * Does the risk of trying a new model exceed the risk of sticking with the old?
 * How will vertical integration of corporate activity affect profit margins
 * Redesigning supply chains takes time, as does tracking the effects: do
   shareholders and executives have the patience for the transformation?
   
   

12:20: Question Time
Now is the time to find out what the audience thinks. In this interactive
session, questions are posed to the audience as they become the panellists.


12:30: Fireside chat: Technology at the forefront: the supply chain of the
future 
25 minute fireside chat

With rising consumer demand, increasing need for full visibility and
flexibility, and pressure on resilience, supply chain organisations are looking
for solutions. Adopting new technology to streamline and enhance frameworks is
becoming the most commonly touted fix. Technology is now a strategic imperative,
from intralogistics robotics and digital twins to embedding advanced analytics
and AI, how can companies achieve true composability? Where should firms begin
in this process? This session unpacks what should be at the forefront of
leaders’ minds when looking to update legacy systems, improve human decision
making and manage assets.





12:55: Networking lunch
