Jump Start 2022: What will you learn?

Everyone involved in the supply chain needs a bigger toolset, deeper insights and an open mind to tackle what’s coming next. Jump Start 2022 brings together shippers, carriers, 3PLs and supply chain thought leaders to dissect a wide range of topics that will shape shipping and logistics in 2022.

This year’s sessions and keynote speakers have something for everyone, including topics like:

• Current supply chain trends, challenges and opportunities and best practices to help navigate the “new normal.”
• Regulatory and administration priorities that are shaping today’s supply chain and how they affect the world of freight.
• Leveraging relationships with 3PLs to better serve customers and uncover new growth avenues.
• Leadership and diversity in the supply chain. How is the supply chain evolving? How can you support those changes professionally?

• How carriers and shippers are keeping up with the e-commerce boom. Consumer shopping trends have pushed the supply chain industry to rethink and redefine their final mile and reverse logistics strategies.
• How dynamic pricing is shaping LTL contracts. Technology is revolutionizing how LTL shippers and carriers navigate pricing and annual contracts.

• Automation, big data, AI and the efficiencies and insights they offer. Data doesn’t belong in spreadsheets anymore. Learn how huge amounts of data and analytics can help carriers improve efficiency and shippers make better choices.
• Dealing with driver shortages and attracting new blood. Openings for drivers skyrocketed in 2020. What will it take to fill those crucial positions?
