Overview

The world has fractured around your supply chain — now it’s time to find the advantage. Join Cognizant and AWS, supported by Informatica - on 10 November for a day dedicated to exactly that.

Geopolitical realignment, tariff volatility and the end of just-in-time have made supply chain resilience a board-level strategic priority.

The organisations finding the advantage are those building intelligent, adaptive operations from disruption. The question is whether yours is one of them.

Why Attend

A cross-sector forum examining the structural fracture in global supply chains — and the AI-powered intelligence and resilience strategies that turn disruption into competitive advantage.

Across keynote, industry panels and hands-on working sessions, the day moves through three acts:

The Fracture

Intelligence Advantage

Resilience Advantage

why the supply chains we built no longer fit the world we’re operating in

from visibility to foresight, decision velocity, and tier-N exposure

converting disruption into competitive distance, with outcomes that travel back to the boardroom

Agenda

12:00 Arrivals & Welcome Lunch

13:00 Welcome — opening note from Cognizant

Rohit Gupta, Country Head UKI, Cognizant

13:35 Keynote — Supply Chains in a Fractured World

James Lisica, Global Supply Chain Futurist & Keynote Speaker

The world we built our supply chains for no longer exists. In this opening keynote, James Lisica names the fracture — geopolitical realignment, tariff volatility, the end of just-in-time — and reframes it as this room’s next competitive advantage, not simply a risk to survive.

14:45 Fireside Chat — When the Supply Chain Breaks

A candid conversation on real disruption events — what broke, what took weeks to surface, and what it meant for the businesses waiting on the other end. A grounded, honest look at where visibility runs out — and what earlier signals could have changed.

15:15 Afternoon Tea Break

15:30 Panel Discussion — From Visibility to Intelligence

A senior panel of industry leaders unpacking what supply chain intelligence looks like in practice — from monitoring, to recommending, to acting.

16:15 Resilience Sprint — facilitated working sessions & demo stations

A hands-on session turning the day’s insight into action — with a concrete next step to take back to the boardroom.

17:15 Closing Remarks

17:30 Drinks Reception
