This important gathering takes place at Durban\u2019s Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre from 25 to 27 June 2024. It will be held under the theme \u201cStrengthening Infrastructure and Manufacturing Supply Chains for Future Growth\u201d.<\/p>

\u201cThis conference is more important than ever as we navigate the various challenges and opportunities brought on by recent events in KwaZulu-Natal, including the devastating floods,\u201d comments Smart Procurement chief operating officer Debbie Tagg. She stresses that in today\u2019s rapidly evolving landscape, robust, flexible supply chains are crucial for economies, businesses and communities to survive and thrive.<\/p>

The conference will enable industry leaders, experts and stakeholders to share, explore and develop innovative strategies, best practices and emerging technologies that will shape the future of supply chain management in KwaZulu-Natal and beyond the region. \u201cWe will engage in insightful discussions, share experiences and forge collaborations to drive positive change and propel our supply chains toward greater efficiency, agility and competitiveness,\u201d Tagg states.<\/p>

The event\u2019s compelling key sessions include a powerful presentation on empowering local economies by leveraging set-asides and preferential procurement for effective localisation strategies. The roles of Government and public entities in ensuring supply chain resilience will also be discussed. The hot topic of energy procurement is on the programme, with a not to be missed exploration of the journey for municipalities, including the opportunities, challenges and success stories. Black swans, which are unpredictable events with potentially devastating consequences, will be in the spotlight in an insightful session that unpacks KwaZulu-Natal\u2019s response to an unprecedented \u201ctriple threat\u201d, namely the aftermath of COVID-19, the destructive riots and the floods that have wreaked devastation in the province.<\/p>
