What is the Asia Pacific 3PL Summit?

eyefortransport’s signature 3PL Summits take place around the globe (Europe, USA, Middle East, China, India) to offer senior executives valuable insight into the changing 3PL market in their region.
In Singapore, this 3 day event will bring together CEOs and directors who represent local, regional and global logistics providers … to analyse key 3PL trends across Asia Pacific, learn from innovative case studies, share industry best practice, benchmark operations and network with potential partners!

Or will this M&A trend slow, in reaction to warnings of financial market volatility which potentially impacting the very global trade 3PLs are serving?
TACTICAL URGENCY: when is it right to invest in developing markets, new value-added services, the latest IT capabilities or even green supply chain initiatives? Maximize your ROI with comprehensive risk-reward assessments
INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENTS: the 3PL market is an increasingly competitive space but pioneering companies prove that its a lucrative, under-exploited industry (with the greatest growth potential in the emerging markets) which demands new initiatives to stay ahead of the pack and a corporate philosophy of “best practice” and “innovation” that filters down through all employees
TOP TALENT: the logistics industry, especially in Asia Pacific, suffers from critical staffing issues with extremely high demand for experienced logisticians to take senior management roles. This challenges demands both a comprehensive hiring process to ensure you select the right people for the job, but it also forces CEOs to make staff retention plans a key priority!
