welcome 2 CHAIRMAN’S VIEWPOINT THE FUTURE OF SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY
TELL US WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND?
In less than eight weeks, we will see the biggest-ever gathering of supply chain security professionals in the 20-year history of our Association.
Much of this issue of Vigilant is devoted to the event and, as you will see, we already have an outstanding group of speakers and panellists as well as the promise of an extremely interesting, thought-provoking and futuristic agenda.
I just want to highlight three things: 1. Registration
If you’re not one of the 450+ delegates who have already registered, you now need to confirm as quickly as possible if you want to
attend to ensure you don’t miss out. TAPA members can register online via the members’ section of our website.
2. Invitations
As we stated in the last issue, we are inviting TAPA members to nominate non-members they would like to see participating in our conference. This is primarily to introduce potential new members to our Association because London will be such a great showcase of what we do and of the unique information- sharing and networking opportunities we create for like-minded supply chain security professionals.
We therefore ask you to send us contact information for any non-member Manufacturers or Logistics Service Providers that you believe can benefit from getting to know TAPA.
‘London presents a unique chance to ask your questions to our experts relating to anything that’s on your mind about future supply chains and how they will impact security, the use and potential risks associated with new technologies, how policing is changing to address new threats, and the insurance implications of new ways of doing business when transporting high value, theft targeted goods - or any other issues you want to raise.’
3. Questions
As you can see in this issue, we are inviting leading experts to share their views with us in London. They represent major manufacturers, logistics service providers, regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies and insurers, plus we have other specialists onboard in James Bellini and Nik Gowing to stretch our thought processes on how the future may look and feel.
London, therefore, presents you with the chance to ask questions to our experts relating to anything that’s on your mind about future supply chains and how they will impact security, the use and potential risks associated with new technologies, how policing is changing to address new threats, and the insurance implications of new ways of doing business when transporting high value, theft targeted goods.
With such a broad agenda, we are inviting our delegates and members to advise us of your questions in advance of the conference. This will enable our speakers and panellists to address the issues of greatest importance to you. We do not intend to identify who asked each question, we just want to ensure that the additional information shared by our presenters in London through each Q&A session delivers the most valuable information for our audience.
With regards to other invitees or questions for our presenters, you can send these to us at
info@tapaemea.org
London promises to set a new benchmark for TAPA events in the EMEA region. Please take a moment now to think about the three items I have raised here and help us all to maximise the opportunities that await us in October.
