Theme: Addressing Real-World Challenges & Opportunities Across Modern Supply Chains

Which was the last disruption you were grappling with? By the time my concept note reaches you, my answer would have been redundant, and the next disruption would be threatening global supply chains.

The 7th Celerity Supply Chain Tribe Conference & Awards brings together top minds and decision-makers across the ecosystem to explore how modern supply chains can become more resilient, data-driven, and sustainability-focused.

From evolving 3PL partnerships to the future of warehousing, from real-time visibility to cross-functional collaboration—this is where strategy meets action. Join industry leaders, innovators, and changemakers to dive into real-world challenges, share practical insights, and shape the next chapter of supply chain transformation.

Whether you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve, forge strategic partnerships, or position your brand as a thought leader—this is the platform to be seen, heard, and remembered.
