In addition, Greg Carter, chief technology officer of GlobalTranz, is a featured speaker at the event.

On January 25 at 9:50 a.m., Carter will participate in a panel discussion titled, “Planning for Disaster Recovery.” From floods to power outages, disasters can shatter a company’s supply chain network. Planning ahead can safeguard vulnerable supply chains against potentially catastrophic events and ensure business fluidity – Carter will share his insights on this critical area.

The conference is designed to provide shippers, third-party logistics providers (3PLs), carriers and logistics technology providers with up-to-date information on relevant trends in the supply chain arena.

“It is an exciting time for logistics technology right now, and new innovations are disrupting the supply chain market every day,” said Carter. “I look forward to participating in the Jump Start panel session, and engaging in an interactive dialog with participants on how these logistics technology innovations can benefit shippers, carriers, 3PLs and other supply chain professionals.”
