We're also running a complimentary webinar on Friday on 'The Future of Supply Chain and the Next Generation of Supply Chain Management'.

Lastly, I have the pleasure of flying to Lisbon on Monday where I have been invited to deliver the opening keynote presentation at Portugal’s largest Supply Chain event - http://www.lscmeeting.com/. It will be my first ever trip to Portugal and I’m very much looking forward to it, even if it means my weekend will be spent finalizing the slides ;0). If you are planning on attending then let me know.
