The New York Supply Chain Meetup

By some estimates, inefficiencies in the global supply chain impose overhead costs of between 15% and 20% of global GDP cumulatively - supply chain inefficiencies dampen corporate profits, and lower societal well-being. This presents an opportunity to solve a large and pervasive global problem, and to significantly boost global economic growth and prosperity in the process. The goal of the New York Supply Chain Meetup is to become a focal point for the formulation of questions, and the pursuit of the answers that will lead to comprehensive, sustainable and profitable solutions. Building on the unique characteristics of New York City, TNYSCM will become the world's foremost multi-disciplinary community of practice for individuals and organisations committed to investigating and developing solutions for problems in the global supply chain network. A particular area of interest is the use of distributed ledger technologies as a foundation for innovation in supply chain networks. Mantra: The past ran on supply chains. The present runs on supply chains. The future will run on supply chains. The world is a supply chain. #TNYSCM (https://twitter.com/hashtag/TNYSCM?src=hash) The target audience (in no order of priority): - Academics - Researchers - Lawyers - Business Executives - Purchasing and Operations Professionals - Supply Chain Management Professionals - Supply Chain Logistics Professionals - Supply Chain Finance Professionals - Regulations and Compliance Professionals - Risk Management Professionals - Corporate, Transactional Banking Professionals and Executives - Corporate Treasury Professionals - Insurance Professionals - Customs and Excise Brokers - Payments Professionals - Technologists - Systems Engineers (Especially Human Systems Engineers, and Cybersecurity Systems Engineers) - Internet of Things Strategists - Investors - Startup Founders - Journalists - Etc
