Often summits like these are hit and miss, this was definitely a hit. The quality of the networking opportunities and valuable insight gained from the workshops have given me a few really good ideas to explore implementation in my own organisation's supply chain.

Yet another outstanding event from GDS International. The quality of the program, the speakers and delegates makes these events stand head and shoulders above others of their type. An event well worth making the time to attend.

The seminar has been a successful, very well put together event. The attendees were of a high profile with a wide variety of experience and backgrounds. I enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere that balanced a good mix of work, networking and personal discussions. I wish all seminars I went to had been like this one!

"Wow - what a great summit, the 2011 NG Supply Chain Summit not only met, but exceeded my expectations. It was professionally run, the workshops provided valuable insights that we can all learn from, and the networking and relationship opportunities were also invaluable. I would highly recommend this opportunity to anyone who wants to improve their organisations performance and bottom line."

Andrew Grant, Jeanswest Corporation

It is a fantastic networking opportunity to meet peers in my profession, many of which are in related industries. The forum is quite informal, and provides lots of opportunities to meet a wide network of people. I find the atmosphere is quite relaxed, and most people enjoy talking about there own businesses, challenges, and priorities for the coming year.

The meetings have resulted in an array of opportunities for further discussions. It has been time very well invested. The workshops have generated many ideas and the meetings have generated many opportunities to expedite supply chain improvement. It was an extremely valuable and well orchestrated couple of days.

Andrew Darley, GM Group Procurement, CSR Limited

The Workshops offered real-time practical solutions and ideas from other supply chain professionals which were beneficial. I found to my delight that the meetings with the solution providers offered up fantastic opportunities for future consideration with the insights into their business. It has met the outcomes I was hoping to achieve from attending.
