a leading global technology distributor, today announced that Douglas
Kent, global vice president of Avnet Velocity, will chair the Supply
Chain & Logistics Summit Asia in Singapore. The conference will
be held at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia, Singapore, on January 8 and 9. In
addition to hosting the event, Kent will discuss the top five trends
impacting the supply chain in 2013.
“As we look out at 2013 and beyond, there are some key trends that will
heavily influence the global supply chain,” said Kent. “During the
conference, we will examine how these predictions will be realized, who
will be impacted and how this might change the game – from the product's
design to the products being delivered.”
The Supply Chain & Logistics Summit Asia provides senior-level supply
chain executives with the knowledge they need to optimize their supply
chain management and logistics operations in Asia. The summit will
highlight best practices for business success, how to successfully enter
new markets, and how to profit by optimizing an existing Asian supply
base while preempting and protecting business operations in a high risk
environment.
