Wednesday 15 May 2019
City Social, Tower 42, 25 Old Broad Street, London EC2N 1HQ

As new technologies and tools become ever more integrated into supply chains around the world, UK businesses cannot afford to miss the chance to ensure their systems are ready for the future of global trade.

This roundtable event will gather relevant industry peers to discuss how innovation can continue in the face of Brexit and other digital transformation challenges.
The evening will begin with an exploration of the results of a survey conducted by National Technology News and OpenText earlier this year among leading UK companies across various industries, looking at how technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain are evolving sourcing strategies against a backdrop of political uncertainty and longer term headwinds.

Topics for discussion will include:
• Technology rising: What are IoT, AI, and blockchain and how will they transform supply chain visibility, regulatory processes and sourcing strategies?
• Beyond Brexit: Where are businesses now in their Brexit readiness programmes and how much of an impact has political uncertainty had on logistics and transport networks?
• Digital transformation: How are firms progressing with plans to digitise businesses systems with enterprise software and how is technology driving changes in supply chain networks and sourcing strategies?

Please note this event is open to manufacturing, automotive, retail technology, consumer packaged goods and other associated sectors.
