Details for the livestreaming will be shared via the event page.
If you are still sitting on the fence, here are some of the top reasons as to why this is a not-to-be-missed summit of the year:
Obtain Exclusive Updates from Our Business Leaders
This year, we are honoured to have Alibaba Group’s Chairman and CEO Daniel Zhang, and CTO Cheng Li join us at the summit. They will be providing updates on the new developments and technology innovations which will have a significant impact on the ecosystem in the coming years.
Cainiao’s CEO Wan Lin will also be deep-diving into the smart logistics trends that are relevant to the industry in the near term as the industry undergoes a massive digital transformation.
Hear from Distinguished Global Leaders
With the rise of the global digital economy and the corresponding digitalization across industries including logistics, companies, now more than ever, must remain agile to adapt to the changing landscape. Smart logistics has assumed a greater social and economic responsibility to cope with surging eCommerce logistics demand while forging ahead to anticipate future needs.
In China, 2021 is deemed as the first year of the “14th Five-Year Plan”. How can organizations and the industry tap on the opportunities and mitigate the challenges that lie ahead?
We will be joined by macroeconomic experts including China International Economic Exchange Center (CIEEC), United Nations’ World Food Program (WFP) as they share their insights using a global lens.
Furthermore, World Trade Organization (WTO), International Air Transport Association (IATA), Accenture, Roland Berger and Kuaishou will represent global organizations and cross-border eCommerce to shed light on the new trends in export business and global supply chain in the post-pandemic era.
Find Out What’s Next in Green Logistics
Going green has been the hot topic globally and on the business front, it is about developing a more sustainable business strategy that safeguards our environment. In the case of logistics, it has become about striking the perfect balance between supporting eCommerce growth and ensuring environmentally-friendly practices.
Forward-looking organizations must now look at ways to formulate green and sustainable supply chain management framework. At the summit, we will be welcoming the green management expert from China Electronics Energy Conservation Technology Association and the Head of Autonomous Driving Laboratory at Alibaba’s DAMO Academy to provide organizations with more guidelines and advice around the development of sustainable practices.
First-Hand Sharing on the Rise of Innovative Supply Chain Model
Omni-channel smart logistics has ushered in a new era for supply chain services, which in turn drives the rapid growth in new retail and manufacturing. To demystify what innovation means in supply chain context, we have invited supply chain leaders from established organizations such as Procter & Gamble (P&G), Pop Mart, RIO Wine and PurCotton to share their first-hand experience on leading the change. Through innovation in the logistics supply chain model, these organizations have achieved outstanding results in terms of IP incubation and consumer technology, which has proven vital in spearheading wider innovation efforts and both online and offline growth.
Everything You Need to Know to Chart Your Organization Growth Across Different Business Functions
This isn’t just a regular logistics summit. In bringing together thousands of industry leaders both offline and online, we have crafted a comprehensive agenda with breakout forums that deep-dives into specialized focused areas spanning talent development, supply chain management both in China and internationally, smart campus development, and the development of a parcel and warehouse network.
There is something for everyone across different business functions to empower attendees to not only envision the role they play within the broader logistics ecosystem but also how they can be the stewards of change and innovation within their own functions.
