SCL will have a booth at the conference May 10th at the main event, so please come by and see us. Below is some information relating to the conference which will take place May 9th & 10th in Atlanta, GA.

Building on the foundation of the last two years, the theme for the 2011 Georgia Logistics Summit will be "Thriving in a Changing Ecosystem". In short, this year will be all about exploring logistics business opportunity through the lens of six markets. These include: Air Freight, Agribusiness, Energy, Life-sciences, Manufacturing and Ocean Freight.

At the end of the day, each of these markets must get their products to an end customer, or in other words - logistics. To do this, they share a common and fundamental dependence on the efficient, cost effective, reliable, and secure movement of goods - inbound and outbound. However, each market also presents a unique set of requirements, technology, equipment, conditions, and mandates In addition to multiple keynotes, we are proud to also introduce six new Opportunity Sessions that will allow participants to gain a better understanding of these factors, one market at a time.

Each session will focus on a single market and attendees will hear from industry executives who will share their perspectives on what is desired from logistics providers, current gaps in service offerings, and specific industry trends that will impact logistics service delivery. More than just informational, attendees will walk away from these Opportunity Sessions with ideas that can help them thrive, compete, and grow. This might include getting into new markets or competing within existing markets in unique new ways.
