Supply Chain Insight Seminars will run over each of the three days of Multimodal 2012 at the NEC, Birmingham from the 1st to 3rd May.
14 February, 2012
Now in their fifth year, the Supply Chain Insight Seminars, organised by the specialist web portal for European shippers, Shippers Voice are tutorials given by panels of various experts on topical supply chain issues. The tutorials are designed to help logistics practitioners keep up-to-date with the latest technologies and regulations and assist them in tackling the current challenges of cost-savings, increased efficiency and more demanding compliance. The sessions are ‘free to attend’ for all visitors to Multimodal 2012.
Topics covered on Day One will include the potential of Cloud Computing and Software as a Service (SaaS) in the supply chain; the implications of customs and trade compliance regulations and the maintenance of Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status. Day Two moves on to green issues with de-carbonising the supply chain and benchmarking CO2 emissions being tackled. The middle day of Multimodal will also see seminars on HR and risk management challenges in the supply chain, while the third day includes a look at warehousing and transport refrigeration issue.
A similar master-class approach to informing the UK’s logistics professionals, fulfilling the industry’s hunger for continuous education used by Shippers Voice at past Multimodal Exhibitions has proved very successful. Visitors have the walk-up option of attending individual sessions or are able to plan their day by registering at www.multimodal.org.uk for their chosen sessions. Either way attendance is free of charge. In addition, there will also be an option to book one-to-one sessions with the expert presenters for assistance with specific problems.
The opportunity for such fact-finding and consultation in the supply chain services field is unique to Multimodal and the wealth of professional advice available is unparalleled. Experts conducting the sessions will be drawn from such organisations as Accenture, Agency Services Management (ASM), Bis Henderson, Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (CILT), Deloitte, DSV, HMR Customs, Hyundai Merchant Marine, Maersk Line, PD Ports, Port of Rotterdam, TT Club and Sage.
Shippers Voice founder and chief moderator of the Supply Chain Insight Seminars, Andrew Trail comments, “The hunger of supply chain professionals for accurate information and expert advice is more ravenous today than ever before. We are delighted that so many top-level executives have offered their time to feed this hunger at Multimodal, now firmly established as the foremost forum for these professionals to meet in the UK”.
