Welcome & Introduction
Anthony Payne, CMO, HICX

Opening Keynote
Dr Elouise Epstein, Kearney
We’re excited to welcome Dr Elouise Epstein back as our first keynote speaker.
As supply chain management takes center stage amid ongoing disruptions, the question is whether global supply chains are ready for the spotlight. Built decades ago for cost savings over resilience, many remain outdated, relying on 1990s technology and manual processes. To thrive, organizations must redesign their supply chains with digital expertise and AI fluency, empowering leaders to adapt and excel in a rapidly changing world. But how can they achieve this transformation?

As environmental expectations rise, businesses are striving to reduce carbon footprints and prioritize sustainable practices, making ESG management a top priority. However, achieving meaningful emissions reductions requires more data than ever, burdening suppliers with complex surveys and requests.
In this session, Alexandra Tarmo (Kenvue), Marc Munier (DitchCarbon), and Oliver Hurrey (Galvanised) discuss key challenges and solutions.

Costas Xyloyiannis, CEO of HICX
Why do most data projects fail? Why are people still struggling? The tech stack should be able to address supplier data challenges, but why is that not the case in practice? How should companies actually embark on a supplier data project? Our CEO, Costas Xyloyiannis, gave us his views on more burning questions around supplier data.
