Come in and get ready for the 2023 Summit!

Welcome to the 2023 CEO Summit!

From the agriculture sector to kitchen supplier to distribution and restaurant networks, the map of “farm to table” has nearly immeasurable complexity. This first panel will share a high-level view of how a vast network of industries come together to support humanity’s most important service and provides context on how interconnected today’s economies, and supply chains are.

There is a new level of disruption that supply networks must now be able to resist. The resiliency expectations are higher than ever, but what are they exactly? This conversation defines the must-have components for today’s supply chains.

Many of the greatest threats to supply networks are uncontrollable shocks, from global conflicts to extreme weather. This presentation covers the components and effects of those pressures.

The education and development of Ohio’s workforce matters most for the state’s business community. This conversation explores what’s needed now and for the future to strengthen that critical supply.

The expectations of delivering globally, in a customized manner are daunting. This conversation explores how companies and CEOs can understand those expectations within the context of their unique product delivery.

Entire supply networks are moving to the digital space, and with every disruption it causes, technology also provides a new series of tools for companies to build more resilient networks. This panel focuses on those resources, with a focus on artificial intelligence, and how they are being employed in today’s business community.

New and emerging industries have significantly impacted the landscape of Ohio’s workforce dynamic. This briefing presents quantifies those changes.
