About the Conference
How can you produce more cash in this sluggish economy? How are supplier companies just like yours doing that? SEA members and guests will focus on strategies for improving cashflow and profitability. We will participate in our 3rd Supply Chain Summit, a lively panel discussion involving customers and suppliers that changes our thinking and our strategies for success. We’ll hear progress reports, “Keynotes” from suppliers on the bleeding edge of change, and customer presentations that help chart the road ahead. What is the road to better financial performance? Let’s explore these questions together.
