Gartner Supply Chain Symposium brings together senior supply chain executives to explore the challenges, technologies and decisions shaping supply chain leadership.
Taking place from 24 to 26 May 2027 in Barcelona, Spain, the conference will be held at the International Barcelona Convention Center. Gartner positions the event around helping supply chain leaders predict disruption, drive innovation and build resilient, technology enabled supply chains.
What to expect
The conference combines insight, networking and access to supply chain expertise. Gartner states that more than 2,000 supply chain leaders attend. Alongside will be more than 50 Gartner analysts with industry experience and over 60 solution providers. Delegates can use the event to meet other senior supply chain professionals. They can engage with analysts and explore technologies and solutions relevant to their organisations.
Recent conference topics demonstrate the operational and strategic issues addressed by the programme. These include AI and emerging technology, cost optimisation, and risk and resilience. Gartner highlights the need for organisations to demonstrate returns from technology investment, protect profitability during market volatility and supply chain shocks, and strengthen resilience in response to geopolitical, economic and demand disruption.
The programme also provides opportunities for more focused discussion. Registered attendees can participate in roundtables, workshops and Meetups, while Gartner also offers individual meetings with analysts. The CSCO Circle Program is specifically designed for CSCOs. There is a focus on long term supply chain growth and networking among senior peers.
Networking is another significant part of the event. Delegates can connect with senior supply chain executives, meet technology providers through the Exhibit Showcase and use Gartner Conference Navigator to plan sessions and interactive experiences.
Gartner Supply Chain Symposium provides supply chain leaders with a forum for examining disruption, resilience, innovation and technology while building connections with peers, analysts and solution providers.
