- Supply Chain Live - A practical demonstration of how a supply chain can be
delivered and scaled on demand, in real time.
- Media Supply Conference - At these sessions, expert speakers explore technical architectures and business models required for success. Stay tuned for more details on the sessions' topics.
This event will start at: 15:00 BST / 16:00 CEST / 10:00 EDT / 07:00 PDT. It will last approximately 4 hours.
