Elemica North American Supply Chain Conference to Focus on the Rapidly Growing Value of New More Powerful Business Analytics Capabilities

EXTON, PA--(Marketwired - Jan 16, 2014) - Elemica, the leading Supply Chain Operating Network provider for the process industries, will hold its annual North American conference, titled "reveal 2014," on May 6-7, 2014 in Philadelphia at the Chemical Heritage Foundation. The event gathers supply chain executives, industry analysts, and thought leaders who will share leading edge supply chain innovations, present evolving best practices, and provide insights for gaining a real competitive edge.

"Companies are beginning to realize the strategic value, and the sheer complexity, of harnessing the vast amounts of data they compile in running their businesses. This 'Big Data' challenge, and the task of analyzing rapidly changing business scenarios, gives rise to two business imperatives," said John Blyzinskyj, CEO of Elemica. "The first is overcoming strained information structures. CIOs need to deliver robust, scalable, secure supply chain operating network systems to their internal and external stakeholders. The second is deploying technologies that truly provide intelligence to the real-time business issues companies face, giving leaders clear, reliable, and actionable information. Elemica is helping our clients with these vital imperatives, and will be highlighting them as key themes across our conference."

Elemica's "reveal 2014" supply chain conference starts Tuesday evening, May 6th, with a Dinner and Cocktails Reception at the Adventure Aquarium. Transportation between the reception and conference hotels will be provided for the evening's activities. The information session begins Wednesday morning, May 7^th, and features a keynote by a senior supply chain analyst from SCM World, a leading global community and think-tank for senior level supply chain executives. The agenda also includes other analyst, process industry executive, and academia-lead presentations on creating high performance value networks designed for the demands of today's challenging global marketplace. Attendees will find significant value in both formal and informal networking opportunities, small group breakout sessions across supply chain disciplines, and 1-on-1 "FastPass to the Pros" opportunities with an Elemica supply chain expert.

New this year is the inclusion of limited event sponsorship opportunities, with tiered packages now available.
