The Columbus Region Logistics Council (CRLC), an initiative of the Columbus Chamber, is all about industry collaboration.
CRLC: Supply Chain Evolution
Navigating What’s Now and Next in the Columbus Region
The Columbus Region’s supply chain is undergoing a dramatic transformation – reshaping how goods move, how businesses operate, and how communities thrive. Join us for Supply Chain Evolution, a dynamic convening of industry leaders, innovators, and community stakeholders exploring the current state of the local supply chain and its trajectory over the next 5 to 10 years.
Through engaging keynotes and focused breakout sessions, we’ll examine how different sectors are adapting to supply chain challenges, seizing new opportunities, and preparing for a rapidly shifting future. Whether it’s technology integration, infrastructure investment, workforce development, or sustainability practices—this event brings together the voices shaping what’s next.
Together, we’ll answer:
What’s moving supply chains now—and what will move them tomorrow?
We want to extend a special thank you to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals Columbus Roundtable; Columbus Logistics Breakfast Club; Warehousing Education Research Council/Material Handlers International; Association of Supply Chain Management; Ohio Trucking Association; CBUS Retail; Columbus Fashion Council; and Clean Fuels Ohio for their support and collaboration!
