Potential Smart 2009 Conference speakers are reminded that the deadline for submitting applications to present a paper around this year’s theme BRIDGING THE GAP with Innovation and New Business Strategy, is fast approaching. Submissions close Friday 3 October 2008.
Smart 2009 is Australia’s leading logistics and supply chain event. The conference program will include multiple streams, each focusing on a specific area of the supply chain and strategically designed to help address current and future supply chain challenges.
Speakers are currently being sought to address the following key areas:
- Energy Security & Sustainability — including the growing gap between demand and supply of transport fuels, and the repercussions of targeted greenhouse gas emission levels.
- Infrastructure — such as the gaps between actual and required investment levels, and the need for new infrastructure to support new energy paradigms.
- The Human Factor — the current and growing skills crisis, and injury levels versus ‘zero targets’ in workplace safety.
- Connected Supply Chains — specifically, the opportunities offered by connecting geographically dispersed global supply chains, and business strategies, technologies and systems needed to achieve and support future supply chain potential.
Those interested in speaking at Smart 2009 may lodge their application to present a paper online or contact the Smart 2009 Secretariat.
