At 2 pm CST on Tuesday, Gordon Donovan, director of market research for procurement and external workforce at SAP, will provide an in-depth outlook on what’s in store for 2022 into 2023 in terms of supply chain visibility and how data and technology work together to help companies “see” what’s ahead.

Wednesday begins at 10 am CST with Jon Gold, VP, supply chain and customs policy at National Retail Federation (NRF), will provide an executive outlook on port strikes, rail strikes, driver shortage, inflation, disruptions and more and offer predictions on what it will take for the supply chain to turn around.
