Smart 2009 Conference  – Australia’s leading logistics and supply chain event – will tackle these issues head-on. It will provide timely advice for those keen to find new and clever ways to sustain and grow their business while addressing challenges in an uncertain global and domestic climate.

Themed ‘BRIDGING THE GAP  with innovation and new business strategy’, Smart 2009 Conference will demonstrate how supply chain providers can achieve sustainability, pursue environmentally sound strategies and become an employer of choice through a focus on clever thinking and innovation.

The program will be strategically designed to help address current and future supply chain challenges in the areas of:

Energy Security & Sustainability - including the growing gap between demand and supply of transport fuels, and the repercussions of targeted greenhouse gas emission levels;

Infrastructure - such as the gaps between actual and required investment levels, and the need for new infrastructure to support new energy paradigms;

The Human Factor - the current and growing skills crisis, and injury levels versus 'zero targets' in workplace safety; and

Connected Supply Chains - specifically, the opportunities offered by connecting geographically dispersed global supply chains, and business strategies, technologies and systems need to achieve and support future supply chain potential.
