Roundtables

Imagine sitting at a table with a small group of high-level executives in your specific field, in an informal setting, designed for honest debate and closer networking...This is it.

You can discuss issues and ask questions to decision makers without fear. You will give and receive honest answers. This group would include current and prospective customers, or suppliers, partners and rivals: here the discussions will lead to further action, as happened in 2008 where the SIAM Logistics Council idea was first developed.
