Logistics is Here
Hundreds of the most senior and highest profile LogisticsTech leaders from all around the world will take part at this year’s event — but it’s not so much about the number of delegates as the quality of the conversations. It has been our goal to curate the best room of C-suite executives, as well as the heads of innovation and tech evangelists at major supply chain companies, and prominent VCs who have been supporting the amazing growth of technology in this space. The result, we hope, will feel like a vital community that you will want to help us grow further in future years. While we wish we could take all the credit for Manifest, you are the reason we exist. It is through your efforts that make what we do possible.
What you show is that the logistics industry’s commitment to innovation is real and necessary — and it’s clear that the transformative power of tech will continue to change the way the world moves and things move around the world!
