Detailed Description





Symposium Context

The pandemic is behind us. Yet, supply chains across the globe are still dealing with critical shortages, significant delays and continued price escalation. Why is it taking longer than expected to solve the supply chain issues? When should we expect a return to a ‘normal’ balance of demand vs. supply? Which creative, perhaps radical approaches are needed to address these issues?

The world is again facing greater geopolitical risks, which have both immediate and long-term impacts on supply, including for global logistics. What new paradigms are required for supply chain organizations to succeed in highly uncertain times?

Further, while the intense focus on ESG has somewhat relented, the drive toward a low carbon economy is here to stay. How are supply chains retooling themselves via organization design, technology use, and resource development to meet the new operational, reporting, and other challenges?

Why Attend?

If you want to be on leading edge of supply chain, if you want to think strategically about supply chain and not just tactically, join these leaders who will discuss vigorously and openly in the Houston Strategy Forum’s unique format to share their vision, strategies, and challenges. Come share your experience and learn from the high-level executives who attend our events.

At the Houston Strategy Forum, we have real discussions — no fluff. Register now.

Our Unique Format

What Makes Us Different?





Houston Strategy Forum events are innovative. No speeches. No PowerPoint presentations. They are open and down-to-earth discussions with our speakers. Our format is a relaxed, intimate, fireside-style chat. And, always unscripted!



Over the years, we have had top CEOs and executives share their deepest thoughts and feelings that you would never hear in a regular conference. We respect and value that interaction greatly — it is what makes us the preeminent discussion forum.



Our business talk show format facilitates an energetic, meaningful, and respectful exchange of ideas between our speakers and attendees. Our goal is to get a majority of the attendees to contribute to the discussion. When that happens — it creates magic!



We receive rave reviews about our format both from our speakers and attendees.

To encourage an open and candid discussion we follow Chatham House rules.
