Supply chain management body Sapics, together with the Southern African Association of Freight Forwarders (SAAFF), will host its forty-sixth yearly conference, in Cape Town, from June 9 to 12, to discuss topical issues affecting supply chains and the South African logistics network.
The event will host 750 delegates and comprise 55 sessions, 11 interactive workshops and five site visits, with speakers including Business Unity South Africa president Mxolisi Mgojo and National Logistics Crisis Committee strategic adviser Irvindra Naidoo.
The SAAFF says attendees will benefit from the opportunity to network and gain insights that are critical in charting the course of enterprises and managing relevant challenges in a highly volatile business environment.
Some of the topics to be discussed include cost efficiencies with cargo insurance, growth strategies in special economic zones, the e-commerce landscape and its impact on logistics, carbon emission impacts on the logistics network, managing excessive fuel costs and driving more public-private partnerships.
Sapics and the SAAFF have committed to providing a platform for industry professionals to exchange knowledge and foster innovation in supply chain management.
