The online event, produced by Cahners Business Information's Supply Chain/OEM Group, which includes Logistics Management & Distribution Report, took place Oct. 17 and 18. The expo, which brought together the expertise and market reach of 10 market-leading business-to-business brands covering the full scope of the supply chain, attracted more than 7,000 attendees.
The full contents of the expo remain available on the Web through Jan. 17, 2002, at www.supplychainlinkexpo.com. Visitors to the expo's "Move" pavilion can view a keynote address by Yossi Sheffi, director of MIT's Center for Transportation Studies, and a roundtable discussion by the research team that developed the 10th annual Giants of Shipping Report, featured in the September issue of Logistics Management.
