Sourcing Journal

Shifts in geopolitics, mercurial trade policies and evolving compliance requirements have been reshaping global sourcing, and the changes show no signs of letting up. As such, traditional reactive sourcing strategies have fallen by the wayside in favor of proactive planning for a future where anything is possible.

Retailers, brands and manufacturers are charting a new course toward supply chain success, and it’s within this context that Sourcing Journal presents its fall summit on Sept. 29 in New York. “SJ Summit: The Global Sourcing Reboot” convenes industry executives, policymakers, manufacturers and innovators to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing global sourcing today.
