VEF Online Forum: Supply Chain COVID-19 Impacts and Future Readiness

Join us on June 23rd for our third and final online forum of the season.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created immediate global supply chain disruptions with lasting future impacts. Organizations need to prepare their Supply Chain for recovery and get ready for the “new normal”, which will encompass a focus on prioritizing critical material and service availability, effectively managing and minimizing supply risks, and developing capabilities for new compliance requirements. 

We will discuss tangible insights with industry experts to help navigate through the current situation and consider strategies for Supply Chain to be future ready.

Ticket Pricing: 

For this event we have made a “pay what you want” model.

We have elected to add three ticket prices for our events: for each of our general admission and ‘Founder’ tickets, we will add a “virtual discount” of roughly 50% that you can select to recognize the shortcomings of a virtual rather than in-person event. We have created a zero-cost ticket for those who wish to rely on the support of their community. And we will maintain our existing ticket prices for those who wish to fully support our not-for-profit. Learn more.

This event is being delivered by New Ventures BC.
