Stop by the SCL booth (#21) at the fifth annual georgia logistics summit. The Georgia Logistics Summit is a unique event packed with valuable business information and networking opportunities like no other. Keynote speakers will address topics that are relevant to the operation and logistics success of your business.
On March 19-20, 2013 the event celebrates its fifth anniversary and continues to grow in attendance every year. In 2012 the Summit hosted 1,600 attendees from 28 states and 7 nations. Most importantly, 85% of these participants come from across the private sector, and the agenda and activities are purposefully created with input directly from the logistics industry.
NEW FOR 2013:
OPPORTUNITY SESSIONS & KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:
Every year, the Summit provides high-value content and speakers to discuss topics that resonate throughout the logistics industry. In addition to multiple keynote speakers, special guests, and industry panel discussions the Summit offers three “opportunity sessions” that include over 15 speakers from private-industry logistics consumers. These sessions will focus on both the uniqueness and commonalities within three of Georgia’s main freight generators: Food, Manufacturing, and Retail.
IMPROVED FORMAT AND NETWORKING:
One of the key elements of the success of the Summit has been the new relationships that are forged, and the old ones renewed during the event. With this in mind, this year’s agenda has been re-designed with improved starting and ending times allowing Summit attendees more flexibility in scheduling travel and planning other customer meetings around the event.
The Summit still provides the same unique industry content, includes the very popular networking reception, and allows attendees even more time to network, do business, and absorb all the Summit has to offer.
