Headed to Extensiv Edge 2024 - Keynote: Disrupt or Be Disrupted?

Consulting
Written By Rick Watson

While much of the eCommerce world is headed to Shoptalk Europe, I am headed in the other direction to sunny San Diego to kickoff the Extensiv Edge conference this year. A few themes I will be discussing if you are heading out there:

* What are the lessons for 3PLs in 2024?

* What's my take on the state of eCommerce?

* How do the changes at Amazon, UPS, and USPS affect how you should make decisions?

* How should brands be thinking about their investments this year? And which ones?

and finally...

just what the heck does the manager of the nuclear plant Chernobyl have to do with 2024?

It's a confusing year for many. Not a week goes by where one week "economy is great, inflation subsiding" and the next "oh no, we suck again. economy in the tank."

Thank you to my hosts at Extensiv and looking forward to seeing many there.

After the event, I will be sharing my slides for those interested.
