As a premier gathering for supply chain professionals, Connect 2025 serves as a platform to explore emerging trends, innovative strategies, and practical solutions designed to help businesses navigate the rapidly evolving global trade and logistics landscape.
A Platform for Innovation and Collaboration
Mark Hall, CEO of E2open, expressed his enthusiasm for the conference, stating, “We are delighted to host hundreds of customers at this global event to discuss emerging trends, innovative strategies, and practical solutions that can help companies navigate today’s rapidly evolving supply chain landscape. Connect reflects how our organization – together with our customers and broad network of enterprises – is reimagining what’s possible for supply chain, logistics, and trade operations worldwide.”
The conference underscores E2open’s commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration across industries. By uniting a diverse group of stakeholders, Connect 2025 aims to address the challenges and opportunities facing modern supply chains, from leveraging advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) to building resilient, multi-enterprise networks that can adapt to disruptions.
Inspiring Leadership and Real-World Insights
One of the highlights of Connect 2025 is the lineup of featured speakers, including industry experts, company leaders, and special guest keynote speaker Oliver Kahn, a World Cup and Champions League winner widely regarded as one of football’s greatest goalkeepers. Kahn will share valuable lessons on leadership, resilience, and empowering teams to thrive in high-performance environments—qualities that resonate deeply with the demands of today’s supply chain professionals.
In addition to Kahn’s keynote, several customer speakers will take the stage during plenary sessions to share their digital transformation journeys and real-world use cases. These stories span industries such as high-tech, manufacturing, and consumer packaged goods, offering attendees actionable insights into topics like applied AI in supply chains and multi-enterprise collaboration. Plenary sessions led by E2open will showcase cutting-edge innovations, including agentic AI, the latest product releases, and an interactive exploration of transformative solutions for complex supply chain challenges.
A Diverse Agenda for Every Attendee
The Connect 2025 agenda features over 40 breakout sessions, with more than half led by customers representing more than 20 industries. These sessions cover a wide range of business-critical topics, including AI, compliance, data analytics, risk management, supply assurance, and end-to-end visibility. Panel discussions, roundtables, and interactive sessions provide opportunities for attendees to engage in meaningful dialogue and learn from peers who are tackling similar challenges.
For those seeking hands-on experiences, E2open solution experts will host product innovation breakouts, live technology demos, and interactive sessions in the Engagement Zone. These activities allow participants to explore the latest tools and capabilities firsthand, ensuring they leave the conference equipped with practical knowledge they can apply to their own operations.
Reflecting Industry Priorities and Trends
Positioned as a barometer for broader supply chain priorities, Connect 2025 highlights the industry’s accelerating focus on AI, digital transformation, and resilience. These themes reflect the direction in which global trade and logistics operations are heading, emphasizing the need for organizations to adopt agile, technology-driven strategies to stay competitive in an increasingly complex market.
