Sourcing Journal Fall Summit
When Sourcing Journal launched 15 years ago things were indeed quite different. Excel spreadsheets were the industry standard, sustainability jobs and initiatives were just coming online and artificial intelligence was the stuff of science fiction. Times have changed. The annual Super Bowl of Sourcing event this year will take a look back at where we came from, take stock of where we are today, and look ahead to what’s coming next. Covering everything from trade, politics, traceability, raw materials, sustainability, machine learning, and of course, sourcing, the Summit will bring together the biggest names in the industry to share invaluable insights. Join us Nov. 12 in New York for access to information not available anywhere else and take part in the discussions that will shape our industry for the next 15 years and beyond.
