Music City did not disappoint as a few members of our team attended the CSCMP's premier event of the year: EDGE 2022 in Nashville!
Rob Doyle, Hugh Tait, Robin Siekerman, and Maggie Harvey joined thousands of industry professionals from September 18 - 21, 2022 at CSCMP’s annual conference to connect and discover the latest innovations, new strategies, and best practices. The conference offered unparalleled content and exhibitions and is an experience like no other, with unlimited opportunities to learn from industry experts and hear dynamic speakers you cannot find anywhere else.
The second day of the conference kicked-off with a session from Tom Szaky, CEO of TerraCycle, who works with some of the world’s largest brands to achieve their commitment to the environment. Szaky’s session on changing the landscape of waste focused on creating circular solutions for hundreds of waste streams such as cigarette butts, dirty diapers, and used chewing gum that otherwise have no path to be recycled.
The third and final day then began with a panel mega session focusing on The Key to Resiliency. Many companies are still importing rather than producing in their country. The discussion explored the multifaceted world of reshoring and nearshoring and if realigning production geography is the right move for your company.
Needless to say, this year’s conference was a fun, successful event, with many takeaways to implement into our business strategies. CSCMP’s annual conference is an event we look forward to ever year. We hope to see you next year at EDGE 2023 in Orlando!
