Every attendee at our Fall Summit has different needs. Some seek the latest on legislation, while others crave sustainability innovations or technology developments. Product managers might want to know how AI can help predict trends, while logistics execs might use AI to marry weather patterns and sea routes. Whatever your needs, SJ’s Fall Summit has got you covered! Our full day of scheduling will help attendees better understand the current business climate, then re-evaluate, re-examine and rewrite their playbooks. This year we look back on the resilience forged through adversity, with tips to maximize your limited capital and best plan for the future.
