The Australian Logistics Council (ALC) will hold the inaugural Supply Chain Technology Summit onsite and in partnership with MEGATRANS2018 in Melbourne.
Technology is a major component of the logistics supply chain and will play a dominant role in the supply chains of the future.
Sessions will focus on the role of technology in road, rail, sea and air transport, as well ports, intermodal terminals, warehousing and all components of the supply chain industry.
The ALC operates a number of policy events each year and technology has been an increasing focus. The dedicated Supply Chain Technology Summit will also focus on the policy priorities articulated by ALC in Freight Doesn?t Vote ? our submission to the Inquiry into National Freight and Supply Chain Priorities.
