ECIA Announces Conference Session on Supply Chain and Corporate Social Value  

Lucas Silipo of Geodis takes a new approach with the session titled, ‘Supply Chains and Corporate Social Value Proposition.’ We are well aware of the power and risks embedded within the concept of supply chains. They redefine how we manufacture, often shifting production from local neighborhoods to global landscapes. While they might seem like a matter of convenience, driven by cost-effectiveness and capital optimization, supply chains embody a far deeper significance. What if we view them as the paramount framework for social sustainability?

Executive Committee Announces Session on Generative AI

 

Lectrix has been following the remarkable growth of applications for generative AI since it came on the scene last year. We've all heard about it. Generative AI reshaped the expectations for 2023 and it will have a longstanding impact on your business, whether that’s in operational tools or end customer applications. But outside of “AI will take our jobs!”, what does it mean for sales and marketing? Join Graham Kilshaw and Geoffrey Forman of Lectrix for a session that isn’t “The Top 10 Prompts for ChatGPT.” Instead, they’ll discuss AI as an expansion of your resources, the rapidly changing platform ecosystem, and risks ranging from uncertain regulations to accidental plagiarism and intentional theft. The session is titled ‘The Present and Future of AI: Anticipated Developments, Implications, and Regulations’. They will also take a deep dive on the topic in a Breakfast Roundtable on Tuesday.

Member of the Week

ECIA is pleased to honor Spectrum Marketing Associates, Inc. as our Member of the Week.

Spectrum prides themselves on a track record filled with "right" turns. While the details and decisions vary considerably, there are basic rules of "doing it right" at Spectrum…Ethical considerations predominate in all business relationships. Principle and pragmatism must work hand in hand. Maintaining confidentiality and adhering to a trade association's code of ethics are prime directives. Performance is about results, not rhetoric. By working through problems, instead of trying to avoid them, we all become stronger and more successful.

ECIA thanks the Spectrum Marketing team for service on ECIA councils.
