THE MISSING LINK
Charlotte Street Hotel, London
Wednesday 9th October
18:30 – 21:30 BST
“AI is poised to revolutionise supply chain operations and transform the role of supply chain teams for the future.”
– Forbes, 2024
The pressure for supply chains to meet growing customer expectations is greater than ever before. Customers are now expecting highly digitised, streamlined services that are efficient, accurate, and sustainable. The best-in-class utilising AI are already seeing a 20% increase in customer satisfaction due to improved accuracy and efficiency in service delivery (McKinsey, 2023).
The challenge is, supply chain leaders are being pulled in different directions, not only facing pressure from the boardroom to cut costs but also being hamstrung by the maintenance of legacy systems. Sustaining these outdated systems isn’t just budget consuming, it also prevents meaningful innovation with new technologies like AI. For many, the shift from legacy to AI-driven solutions can seem overwhelming, particularly for those wary of the disruption it might cause. Yet, failing to evolve will not only lead to missed cost-saving opportunities but also risk alienating customers who demand more.
Supply chain leaders cannot afford to be stagnant. So, how can you transform from legacy systems to integrate AI, achieve quick wins, and meet the demands from both your boardroom and your customers?

OUR SUSTAINABILITY PLEDGE
We’re committed to supporting our society and environment. When you attend a Change Makers Club event, we pledge to neutralise your carbon footprint. To offset your travel or energy usage we will plant a tree via One Tree Planted. Once mature, the average tree has a net absorption of 30 kg of CO2 per year, which equates to 227 miles of travel by car or 96 hours of office usage. You can see our maths here.
