Supply Chain BR 2021

Leaders of small to midsized manufacturers and distributors in Louisana's Capital Region are coming together to discuss how to increase revenue, optimize efficiencies, mitigate risk, and adapt to customers’ evolving expectations while building a resilient supply chain. Simply, none of us want any more distractions from growing our core businesses.

Led by experts in the fields of warehousing, transportation, logistics, and finance, you will learn growth strategies to assess and refine business plans as well as make meaningful supply chain connections to benefit your bottom line and operations. Sessions will focus on:

• Discovering business opportunities hidden within your warehousing and distribution (e.g., recover capital, save money, optimize capacity while outsourcing headaches)
• Capitalizing on financing opportunities to fuel growth (e.g., joint venture, sale-leaseback, private financing, SBA loan)
• Prioritizing measures that matter [from the front (and bottom) line of a business case]
