With more visitors than ever before, Sapphire 2015 once again was overwhelming. It also was the place to be for supply chain and logistics professionals, with a multitude of customer presentations, panel and microforum discussions, and demos shown both at the expert pods and in specific theater sessions. I want to give you an overview of available supply chain content from Sapphire – in the format of videos, replays, presentations, and blogs with personal impressions.

  1. Watch the full replayof this panel discussion with industry thought leaders on emerging demand networks, and find below more details from each of the panelists:

is going to be extremely valuable to us to maintain our leadership.”
