Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) – Managing Supply Chain Disruption: Lessons from COVID-19 and Building Supply Chain Resilience – VIRTUAL

Recent developments have impacted freight and logistics on a similar scale to what was experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

For exporters, the situation today is different than in 2020, but many principles remain the same.

In this webinar, Marg Staib and Michael Byrne (former heads of the International Freight Assistant Mechanism) and industry expert Mark Coleman join Austrade’s Jay Meek to examine:

• what lessons from COVID-19 we should apply to today’s challenges
• what can be done to build future supply chain resilience.

Following an update on the current operating environment, our speakers will share their specialist insights as part of a live panel/Q&A session. Austrade’s Georgia Willis will moderate the session.

Key topics

• Current global supply chain conditions and implications for capacity, reliability and routing
• Lessons government and industry can take from COVID-19
• Practical advice on what exporters should factor into short- and medium-term planning

Who it’s for

This event is for Australian exporters navigating increased supply chain volatility. It’s particularly relevant for SMEs in the agricultural sector.
