Supply chain leaders and service providers will convene again on March 1, 2016 in Hong Kong to provide major brands, manufacturers, retailers, agents and suppliers insight into the challenges and strategies to prepare for increased globalization of supplier bases and retail channels – spurred by many factors including preferential trade agreements.
