SESSION ONE: THE FUTURE OF FREIGHT

COVID-19 has been a wake-up call to many businesses and their ability to mobilize rapidly, set up crisis management mechanisms, and build the supply chain resilience to see them through to the other side. While some businesses ground to a halt, others raced to meet demand spikes.

As some regions move past the most acute phase of the pandemic and start to plan for recovery, industry leaders are rethinking risk-associated costs. In an increasingly volatile, interconnected world, supply chain networks need to account for political, climate-related, and health disruptions when considering their resiliency strategy.

How will this crisis change supply chains in the long run? How can fleets, shippers, and 3PLs better prepare for volatile freight demand? The path to resilience comes with a price, where is the balance between efficiency and risk? How can automation, digitization and big data enable companies to better mitigate risk?
