Winter Olympian Apolo Ohno, the most decorated American Winter Olympics athlete in history, is scheduled to speak about the keys to his overwhelming success and how these strategies can be applied to the business world.
The Connections 2019 agenda includes in-depth panel discussions of trends in the 3PL arena, transportation regulations, emerging supply chain technology, and supply chain infrastructure. The panel lineup has been tailored to provide carrier, shipper, 3PL and other supply chain attendees with a 360°-view of the multimodal supply chain. Panelists are invited to speak at the event because they are the top supply chain knowledge leaders and executives; their insightful and informative presentations arm audience members with concrete, action-oriented information about how to succeed in the modern supply chain arena.
The Connections agenda features ample time for attendees to cultivate new business relationships and discuss current supply chain pain points – either during the 2019 SMC³ Golf Classic or the multiple evening entertainment events.
Attendees interested in maximizing their LTL education during Connections 2019 can attend LTL 203: Carrier Pricing and Costing, a required class in the SMC³ LTL Certification course, for a separate fee. With SMC³ LTL Certification, the company is extending its lifetime of LTL expertise past its two annual conferences and into the classroom, where students can achieve a thorough understanding of the industry from the LTL specialists at SMC³.
