Achieve competitive advantage by putting supply chain innovation at the core of your company’s growth strategy
Dear Colleague,
As American industry moves towards an era of unprecedented growth, and the associated risk, Fortune 500 CEOs are increasingly turning to their supply chains as a source of competitive advantage and innovation. This progression has been accompanied by the rise in importance of supply chain management executives, and the increasing appearance of Chief Supply Chain Officers (CSCOs) on management boards.
Competition is no longer company vs. company, but supply chain vs. supply chain. The CSCO Forum is the place where the leaders of these operations gather to discover how to maximize the opportunity that this position of increased importance brings.
The Chief Supply Chain Officer Forum is designed with the help of an Advisory Board that includes the Heads of Supply Chain for the world’s leading manufacturers, retailers and OEMs. Their knowledge and experience has enabled us to create a truly interactive forum in which you can benchmark your work, discuss your challenges with peers at your level, and walk away with a set of case studies and strategies that are immediately implementable.
The aim is not to hold yet another conference – it’s to put you in a room with the best supply chain management practitioners in the industry and facilitate discussions and relationships that are guaranteed to make a huge difference to your work and your career.
Unlike other events, the Chief Supply Chain Officer Forum is completely industry-led. This means you will hear from senior supply chain executives hand chosen by our Advisory Board, as well as carefully chosen industry analysts. With a dual focus on Innovation & Strategy, and Execution Excellence, don’t be surprised if your notes from this meeting become your most important strategy document for the year!
With a focused agenda led by the most sought-after speakers, and sessions and networking events that guarantee a new set of the most exclusive contacts in the industry, the return on your time and investment is clear. So secure a front row seat for an unobstructed view of the future of strategic supply chain management. Reserve your place today and join the industry elite.
Myself and the CSCO Forum team look forward to meeting you in Atlanta this June.
PS. The top-tier supply chain executives don’t leave their offices for just any conference – but you will find them at the CSCO Forum in Atlanta.

Hands-on working groups take you deeper into the most challenging issues
Catch views of the Atlanta skyline from Ventana’s rooftop bar & helipad
Organized by:
With more executives attending and a bigger, more dynamic location, the Steering Committees have re-designed the program for this years’ event to include more targeted networking events and interactive sessions than ever before. These include:
New Interactive Session Format
Slide… click… slide… click…yawn... We’ve all sat through PowerPoint presentations, and we all know how repetitive they can be. That’s why we’ve created session formats with a difference: on-stage interviews, panel debates, customer case studies, and interactive Q&As using a second Chairman in amongst the audience ensure that you walk away from the sessions having heard insights and opinions you can’t find anywhere else. With this level of attendee in the room, the pointed questions of audience members will take our discussions to a new level.
‘Meet the Speakers’ Sessions
Don’t let your nagging questions go unanswered – catch the speakers during this facilitated session to ask extra questions, have a one to one chat, and make a personal connection. One hour-long session on each day will be dedicated to connecting you with the high-powered speakers you want to walk away on first name terms with. They’re here to spend extra time speaking with you, not just from the stage but personally, to explore their presentation in more depth and make that essential personal connection.
Off-Site Welcome Reception at Ventana’s Sponsored by Jones Lang LaSalle & Partners. Enjoy drinks, hors d’oeuvres, great company and amazing views of the Atlanta skyline – 5 minutes drive from the Hilton, transport to and from the venue provided throughout the night. This is the perfect chance to start meeting new contacts, and get a chance to win a helicopter flight over Atlanta taking off from the rooftop helipad on the evening!

‘Make a 3PL Connection’ Customer Meeting Session
The supply chain and logistics executives who attend the CSCO Forum tell us that a bonus of their time spent at the event is the ability to meet senior management from logistics service providers who attend the co-located event for that industry. For those who are looking to outsource logistics and supply chain functions for the first time, or change providers, we’ll be facilitating one2one meetings with 3PL representatives– a fantastic opportunity to meet conveniently with future business partners. These meetings are timetabled prior to the event.
