What a great event we had today, Evan Smith, EO and co-founder of our partner Altana !
The annual Altana Directions Summit is one of the best conferences on the planet in our field.
Supersorganization, outstanding agenda, the best speakers – great fireplace talks & panels.
As you said on stage, this where the future is co-designed. For those of you out there that couldn’t join us for this timely event – don’t miss the event next year. We will then tell you how we did it! How we did make the world a better place.
Amazing Directions Summit in New York City today arranged by our partner Altana with a full house in dialogue about AI in Customs & Supply Chains. A timely event with the recent tariff storm & increasing enforcement of ESG regulations, like the UFLPA.
I did a panel about Product Passports with Michael DeVitto from LLBean & Aaron Libbey from Altana. Great conversation.
Altana CEO, Evan Smith & former U.S. Commerce Secretary and Governor of Rhode Island, Gina Raimondo, kicked off the Summit.
