Atlanta, GA, March 5, 2013—enVista President and CEO Jim Barnes has been selected to participate in the fifth annual Georgia Logistics Summit March 19-20, 2013 in Atlanta, GA. Barnes will moderate a retail panel focusing on the impacts of omni-channel distribution on retailers on March 20 at 10:15 a.m. Panelists include retail executives: Anton Van Steenwijk, Dell; Greg Tuthill, NYK; Mark Holifield, The Home Depot; Jim Franz, Haier; and enVista client Dave Haessly, Hibbett Sports. Barnes will also participate in an “Ask the Experts” panel at 2 p.m. that day where he will answer questions about trends in tomorrow’s supply chains.
Barnes said, “Atlanta is a key region for the supply chain and logistics industry. This event presents an important opportunity for supply chain and logistics professionals throughout Georgia to examine the factors and trends impacting their businesses from a regional perspective but also at a more macro level. I look forward to facilitating a meaningful conversation about the impact of omni-channel fulfillment on retailers among the stellar line-up of executive participants and attendees and to provide the audience with ideas and tools to use when facing their own omni-channel challenges.”
The Georgia Logistics Summit offers a diverse list of industry executive presenters to share ideas about what supply chains will look like in 2013, industry opportunities and challenges, and what they look for from logistics partners to help pull it all together. The two-day event features four interactive panel discussions, three industry focused opportunity sessions, and a keynote speech exploring the challenges, opportunities, and future impact of multi-channel commerce.
