Events

Join the CSCMP Atlanta Roundtable, sponsored by KPMG, for an engaging discussion exploring how global trade/ tariff developments and geopolitical uncertainty are reshaping supply chains and transportation strategies.

During this one-hour executive discussion, industry leaders will examine the growing intersection of trade policy, geopolitics, supply chain operations and transportation management. The conversation will explore how organizations are responding to tariffs (including mitigation strategies), regulatory changes, shifting trade lanes, sourcing challenges and transportation disruptions, and what supply chain leaders should be doing now to build greater resilience and agility.

 The three-hour event will combine timely insights with an opportunity to connect with fellow supply chain, logistics, transportation and global trade professionals during a networking happy hour.

Most conversations about warehouse automation start in the wrong place — with the robot. This session flips that order.

Before any equipment gets selected, a facility has to answer a harder set of questions: Can the floor and power infrastructure actually support it? Will fire protection and permitting timelines cooperate? Is the process stable enough to automate in the first place? These are the constraints that quietly derail automation initiatives — not because the technology fails, but because the building was never evaluated against it.

Join the Atlanta Roundtable for an evening with Parth Pethani, Director at Prologis, who brings a rare vantage point to this conversation. Having sold robotics, implemented WMS platforms, operated automation on the floor, and now advised customers from the landlord’s side of the table, Parth has seen firsthand where automation plans succeed — and where they quietly stall.
