For the first time, the annual Supply Chain Study, now in its fourth year, combines the vision and resources of RIS News and Retail Leader. This partnership achieves a robust expansion of the study’s scope and deeper insight into critical retail trends, and thus we’ve renamed it the “Value Chain Technology Study” to reflect the evolution of supply chain trends.

Our inaugural event, co-hosted with Retail Leader, Value Chain Tech: The Next-Generation of Supply Chain, will be a culmination of extensive research, industry insights, and a commitment to bringing innovation to the core of your business operations.

Athlete and Hustle Clean CEO Justin Forsett will inspire and motivate, alongside leaders from retail and consumer goods companies discussing innovative strategies and how to leverage next-generation technology.
