Key Takeaways: Key Takeaways from Manifest - Pam Simon is the EVP Programming & Content at Manifest, a conference designed for those at the forefront of the changing logistics landscape including industry executives, entrepreneurs, and investors.
- Manifest: The Future of Logistics was held at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada from January 25 to January 27, 2022.
- The following are Pam’s key takeaways from the event:
- Convergence of logistics, technology and investment professionals coming together to discuss the industry’s biggest challenges and opportunities.
- Sustainability is gaining momentum in the logistics space. Senior executives from the logistics industry presented their sustainability goals and investments, while innovative players from the industry showcased their product offerings that will enable a carbon neutral future.
- Really cool trucks were in attendance at Manifest including autonomous and electric vehicles. Attendees didn’t just get brochures and video demos about the future of trucking, they got to climb in the trucks and participate in ride-alongs.
- The Women’s Luncheon was a big hit at Manifest and not just with the ladies. Over 40% of the attendees were men which reflects the industry’s growing demand for female talent. Top logistics companies want to better recruit, develop, and retain women executives – and Manifest is a great place to connect with those talented ladies.
- Warehousing is increasingly a high tech business with the top companies investing in WMS, scanning technologies, robotics and automation. At the Manifest, top technology companies showed off their latest and great innovations.
- Logistics is global and so was the Manifest conference, which attracted people from over 27 countries. Many innovative companies from outside the USA were delighted to connect directly with American logistics professionals. Conversely, logistics professionals were thrilled to be exposed to technologies and service offerings that have not yet reached the US market.
