Virtual Event Content to Focus on Evolving Today's Supply Chain
EWING, N.J., Oct. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- GS1 US is now accepting speaker proposals for GS1 Connect: Digital Edition 2021, to be held June 8-10, 2021. GS1 Connect: Digital Edition 2021 will feature live-streamed and on-demand industry-driven content focused on adapting to today's supply chain and e-commerce challenges. Originally planned as a live event to be held in Boston, the continuing uncertainty resulting from the pandemic prompted the return to a virtual conference experience to help keep attendees safe. With more than 60 sessions, the digital event will span three days across six tracks, including healthcare, grocery, retail, foodservice, innovation and technology.
GS1 US invites industry thought leaders to share their success stories leveraging GS1 Standards. Presentations should be designed to help industry peers understand how to solve a particular business process challenge using GS1 Standards, including examples of how standards support continuous or innovative supply chain performance. Specifically, GS1 US welcomes speakers who can provide insights on the following topics:
-- Product and location identification
-- Data quality and product data management
-- E-commerce, omni-channel retailing or consumer engagement strategies
-- Visibility, traceability and inventory management
-- Supply chain performance and resilience
-- Innovation or digital convergence
Additionally, GS1 US will accept proposals from brands, retailers, foodservice operators, healthcare providers and distributors for "How to Do Business With..." and Trading Partner Roundtable sessions, which offer tips and dialog that can help attendees understand specific business process requirements. The expanded conference program will also feature the Startup Lab Pitch Competition, discussion groups, live networking and opportunities to meet with solution providers, and GS1 US University Virtual Classroom for those seeking to build their foundational GS1 Standards knowledge.
All applications will be evaluated based on relevance and usefulness of the topic to GS1 Standards users and conference attendees. Applicants must submit their presentation proposals via the online portal by December 8, 2020.
"With the successful launch of GS1 Connect: Digital Edition last June, we are confident that we can share even more inspiring member stories for another engaging digital experience in 2021," said Siobhan O'Bara, senior vice president, community engagement, GS1 US. "We look forward to curating a program that highlights thought-provoking uses of GS1 Standards, and how members have been able to adapt amid the uncertainty of 2020 and accelerate digital transformation."
