Shaping the Future of Operational Performance

The SCM Leaders Connect Forum at World of Volvo brings together senior leaders across Supply Chain and Operations for an exclusive, immersive one-day experience at one of Europe’s most iconic brands.

Set against the backdrop of the World of Volvo’s showcase of engineering excellence, the event explores how global supply chains are evolving in an era defined by digitalisation, resilience, AI, and the next generation of industrial intelligence.

Through a combination of high-impact keynotes, expert panels, and interactive group discussions, participants will engage with peers and thought leaders to examine the strategies, technologies, and operational models shaping the future of industry.

This is not a trade show. No expo floor. No badge scanning. No noise. Just executive dialogue.
