The more global your supply chain becomes, the more difficult it is to guarantee on-time delivery of quality products while keeping a handle on costs. Worldwide Business Research's Global Logistics Summit in Atlanta will look at ways to improve your global logistics operations, whether your goods travel by air, road, rail, or sea.

From August 18–20, executives from companies such as The Home Depot, VF Corp., and Petco Animal Supplies will offer tips and cautionary tales as they discuss strategies for dealing with port congestion, averting product quality problems, and managing outsourcing arrangements.
