LLamasoft,
the leading provider of enterprise supply chain design and
decision-making solutions, is proud to welcome innovators, leaders,
supply chain practitioners and partners from many of the world’s leading
companies to the ninth annual LLamaCon
supply chain conference, taking place from June 18 to 20, 2019 at the
Marriott Magnificent Mile in Chicago.
LLamaCon draws professionals and executives from a diverse set of
industries to collaborate and learn about the latest technologies and
trends in supply chain strategy, design and analytics. The conference
includes a variety of sessions on topics that matter to chief supply
chain officers and their teams such as digital transformation, market
sensing and forecasting, supply chain sustainability, and
customer-centric supply chain strategy. The majority of sessions are
presented by customers, making the use cases timely, relevant and proven.
“LLamaCon has become the leading industry user conference for supply
chain innovators,” said Razat
Gaurav, CEO of LLamasoft. “LLamasoft customers are responsible for
more than $13 trillion of goods flowing through global supply chains.
Their stories of business achievements made possible with LLamasoft
solutions will help to pave the way for similar results in other
customer environments. This event is also going to be a great venue for
our customers and partners to get an understanding of our go-forward
vision and product strategy as we work towards our mission to elevate
lives and organizations through the science of smarter decision-making.”
LLamaCon 2019 will offer inspiring keynote addresses from philosopher
and author of The New York Times bestseller The Black Swan:
The Impact of the Highly Improbable, Nassim Nicholas Taleb;
Executive Vice President Supply Chain Reuben Slone of Advance Auto
Parts; Partner Sam Israelit of Bain & Company; Co-Founder and Chief
Strategy Officer Toby
Brzoznowski of LLamasoft, and CEO Razat Gaurav of LLamasoft.
LLamasoft is taking steps to reduce the carbon footprint of its annual
user conference and hosting a Sustainability Roundtable where customers
will share ideas about how they can positively impact the environment
and save capital by reducing delivery miles and waste. There will be no
plastic water bottles at LLamaCon, all utensils will be reusable and
printed agendas have been eliminated (all the event information is
available on the LLamaCon mobile app). The Marriott
Magnificent Mile was selected because it has its own sustainability
initiatives.
LLamasoft’s Team is dedicated to improving under-served supply chains
and has partnered with the Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD) to
offer a virtual
food drive, at this year’s event. GCFD is Chicago’s food bank and
serves as a hub for a network of more than 700 food pantries, working to
expand access to nutritious food and address the root causes of hunger.
LLamasoft’s Global Impact Team designed a dynamic routing solution for
GCFD based on area codes, poundage and client areas. As a result, GCFD
was able to save significant costs in fuel and dispatching, purchase
more food, and deliver 72 million pounds of food. Looking ahead, GCFD
plans to use their supply chain expertise to create a program that
serves the older adult community of Cook County.
LLamaCon was named a “Best
Supply Chain Shows for 2019” by Forbes. To learn more about
