Recent disruptions have confirmed that modern supply chains must be built on a more resilient foundation. Not just to help manage risk, but to be better positioned to deal with and even gain advantage from disruptions. Along these lines, the notion of agility is also gaining ground in order to quickly adjust supply chain tactics. The question is: can our supply chains be both at the same time? Join this in-depth discussion as we explore the importance of building robust and responsive supply chains to act as a competitive advantage in 2022 and beyond. In this session, you will learn about: – How organizations need to think beyond the current paradigms of supply chain planning and decisioning – Balancing the need for cost optimization with agility and resiliency – The role of continuous supply chain design as a means to be both agile and resilient – Technology implications to support a continuous design approach Featured Panelists: Lora Cecere, Founder, Supply Chain Insights Madhav Durbha, VP of Supply Chain Strategy, Coupa Scott W Luton, Founder, CEO & Host of Supply Chain Now

As geopolitical instability, economic uncertainty, and technological acceleration converge, access to Critical Raw Materials (CRMs)—the backbone of AI, energy transition, and robotics—faces unprecedented risk. From green energy to advanced manufacturing and national defense, the stakes are high, while CRM supply chains remain fragile, concentrated, and increasingly exposed to geopolitical friction. How do nations and industries secure the resources they need in a fractured world? This exclusive session, hosted by Supply Chain Now’s Scott Luton, brings together global strategist and geopolitical leader General John Allen, retired United States Marine Corps four-star general, and former commander of the NATO International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces – Afghanistan (USFOR-A) and current President of Globsec’s GeoTech Center, and Koray Köse, Senior Fellow at Globsec, Founder & Chief Analyst at Kose Advisory and leading expert in supply chain resilience, AI, and geopolitics. Join us for a conversation that explores how technology, governance, and cross-sector collaboration must align to close the widening supply-demand gap for CRMs by 2030. Webinar attendees will learn: The severity of current CRM exposure to global supply chains and economies and why it presents a strategic crisis for the free world Why CRMs are not just the NEXT, but the most…
