2016 Rainmakers and Thought Leaders Reception and Dinner

CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly and sister publication DC Velocity hosted their annual reception and dinner at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals' 2016 Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida. The invitation-only event brings together a select group of logistics and supply chain professionals who have been profiled in DC Velocity's Thought Leader Q&A series or have been a recipient of its annual Logistics Rainmakers designation. CSCMP's leadership, including CEO Rick Blasgen and members of the board of directors, were among those on hand for an evening of thought-provoking discussion and networking. The event was generously supported by Cognizant, GT Nexus, U.S. Bank, JLL, and Tranzact Technologies.

The ideas were flowing and the conversation was lively during the networking reception that preceded the dinner.
