Limitless: Designing a Digital Supply Chain for the Future

BRISTLECONE PULSE AT MIT

Bristlecone Pulse at MIT is the world’s premier supply chain conference. Every year, people with diverse experiences and skillsets, from industry and academia, converge on the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to be part of the community shaping the future of supply chains.

Pulse 2019 was a resounding success! We heard about supply chain innovation from the industry’s best and brightest. We connected with peers and found ourselves inspired by stories of their work on the front lines of supply chain management. We got in on the conversation and learned how to chart a course.
