2024 Sessions
Nothing is Certain Except Change
Regardless of who wins the White House or who wins control of Congress, 2025 will bring major financial changes. The 2017 Trump Tax cuts are set to expire. They may be renewed, they may be partially renewed, or something completely different may become law. But ignoring the changes is not an option.
Steven Murphy will detail what’s at stake, what is likely to survive or change and what are smart moves to prepare.
Beyond Survival: The Adaptive Advantage in the Future of Logistics
85% of CEO’s believe their industry is going to change more in the next 5 years than in the last 50. Competition is learning and the logistics industry is changing at an accelerated rate. Many companies that exist today will not survive the next 5 years. Take lessons learned through military doctrine, software design and tech startups, where failure is a part of the journey and only the most adaptable companies can survive.
In this presentation, Nic Sallis explores concepts pioneered by Col. John Boyd and adapted by tech and software industries to cultivate adaptability and data driven decision making. Drawing on principles like iterative design, feedback loops, and an agile mindset – Sallis offers tools for shifting perspectives and outmaneuvering your competition. Change is coming for logistics – are you ready to evolve or will you be left behind?

Leadership - Winning or Losing

Brian will share his experiences and the perspective he honed over his decades in professional baseball. His stories are unique and entertaining – and full of lessons any leader can use.
Trust People and the Technology Will Follow
Technology can’t be avoided. It encroaches into almost every aspect of operations and is constantly pushing to become ever more central. How is a decision-maker supposed to judge the growing array of tech. Luke Hugel will share that it is (still) all about people. If leaders can trust the people behind the technology they can (and should) become the proactive technology adopters in their organizations.
