The 12th Annual Supply Chain Conference For FMCG Logicon 2008 Takes Place in Brussels

November 20, 2007; 08:40 AM

Senior supply chain & logistics professionals from across Europe’s leading FMCG, CPG and Retail organisations will gather in Brussels on 26th to 28th February 2008 to discuss new ways to drive supply chain innovation and sustainability through new models of collaboration.

The collaborative supply chain has been much discussed and debated over the past few years, but it is only very recently that organisations have actually committed to collaborative models of working. Through adopting a more joined up approach to working with internal departments, suppliers, customers and competitors many FMCGs, CPGs and Retail organisations are finally realising significant cost-savings, strengthening their Green credentials and gaining competitive advantage.

LogiCon 2008 will show-case some of the most innovative of these collaborative supply chains, and lay the foundations for taking the collaborative supply chain to the next level. Just some of the speakers confirmed to speak at LogiCon 2008 include:

Simon Pearson, Head of Central Logistics Operation at Asda / Wal-Mart
