The 10th annual American Supply Chain Summit opens Monday at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, bringing together more than 300 senior supply chain and operations executives from across the country.

The two-day event focuses on navigating disruptions, leveraging technology, and building resilient logistics networks, per GENERIS.

Organized by Generis Group, the summit features executive case studies, panel discussions, and networking sessions on topics including AI and automation, 3PL/4PL partnerships, warehousing optimization, and risk management in an uncertain global environment, noted AJOT.

This year’s program highlights real-world strategies for addressing ongoing supply chain challenges, from tariff impacts and labor shortages to technological innovation in distribution centers. Attendees include vice presidents and directors of supply chain, logistics, and operations from major companies.

Featured speakers include:

  • Arun Krishnan, SVP of Global Supply Chain and Strategy at AstraZeneca
  • Sajid Kunnummal, SVP and Chief Procurement Officer at BD
  • Darcy Arata, SVP of Supply Chain at PepsiCo
  • Jonathan Jennings, Chief Procurement Officer at HP
  • Chris Nielsen, EVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer at Toyota North America
  • Matthias Huelsmann (SVP, E2E Logistics, Bosch)

The summit runs April 27–28 at the Hilton Anatole, 2201 N. Stemmons Freeway. Sessions begin early Monday morning and continue through Tuesday afternoon.

Key themes include applying artificial intelligence in world-class facilities, optimizing third-party logistics relationships, and preparing for potential future disruptions. Speakers will share practical case studies from companies that have successfully transformed their operations.

Dallas serves as an ideal host city for the event due to its central location, major logistics hubs, and status as a growing business center. The region’s robust infrastructure and corporate presence make it a hub for supply chain professionals, as previously reported by The Dallas Express.

The American Supply Chain Summit has grown steadily since its inception and is now recognized as one of the industry’s premier leadership-focused events.

Registration remains open, but not for the general public. The summit is invitation-only and designed exclusively for senior-level decision makers. Organizers expect full participation as companies seek strategies to strengthen their supply chains amid evolving economic conditions.

The event concludes on Tuesday afternoon. For more information and the full agenda, visit the official summit website.
