SUMMARY:Breakfast Meeting: Impact of 3D-printing and Automation
DESCRIPTION:Are Robots and 3D Printing Really Going to Take Over the World?\n\nWe have all heard of the huge warehouses of delivery services like Amazon\, and the robots performing car assembly jobs that were once held by humans.  But how far could this really go?  The knock-on effects for the global workforce could be huge and we have already seen manufacturing jobs change as automation and 3D-printing replaces humans in many areas.  Are staffing companies and governments really braced for the impact?\n\nSuman Das is an expert on the role of 3D-printing and automation on commerce. As a researcher and  Chair Professor of Advanced Manufacturing Systems\, he has conducted research in these fields for over 28 years. He is currently on a leave of absence from Georgia Tech to serve as the CEO of Atlanta-based DDM Systems\, a high-end technology company founded by him in 2012 to commercialize advanced 3D printing technologies for aerospace\, power generation\, automotive\, and medical sectors.\n\nThis is a must-attend for HR and operations managers.

SUMMARY:Global Supply Chains in a Post-Pandemic World: A Conversation With Colombia’s Ambassador on Investment and Reshoring Trends
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual conversation with Colombia’s Ambassador to the United States on investment and reshoring trends and the shakeout of global supply chains in a post-pandemic world: \nSponsored by Emory Executive Education:\n \nWe are only starting to understand the ways the coronavirus pandemic is reshaping our world. On the trade front\, multinationals managing complex supply chains can no longer assume a return to business as usual. Some are eyeing factories in the Americas to shorten lead times and hedge against uncertainty. \nColombia is positioning itself as a key partner for firms considering a move closer to home\, boasting an established free-trade agreement with the U.S.\, healthy manufacturing and ag sectors and nonstop flights to the Southeast U.S. \nJoin Global Atlanta and Emory Executive Education\, in partnership with ProColombia\, for a conversation with Francisco Santos\, Ambassador of Colombia to the United States\, on the country’s advantages (and incentives) for potential investors in various sectors far beyond its traditional commodities like coffee\, flowers and oil. \nDuring a Zoom interview with Global Atlanta Managing Editor Trevor Williams\, Ambassador Santos will highlight opportunities in automotive\, apparel\, fintech and other areas while providing background on the state of the peace process\, the geopolitical environment and the country’s response to COVID-19. \nThe ProColombia team\, which promotes trade\, investment and tourism\, will be on hand to answer specific questions about engaging with Colombia. \nWho should attend: \n\nPurchasing managers seeking diversification\nManufacturing executives\nIndividual traders or sourcing outfits\nEconomic development officials\nLatin America watchers\nInternational affairs students\n\n\nAbout the Ambassador of Colombia to the United States:\n\n\n\n\n\nFrancisco Santos Calderón was born October 14\, 1961 in Bogota; Santos is married to Maria Victoria García and together they have four children: Benjamin\, Gabriel\, Carmen and Pedro. \nHe is the Former Vice President of Colombia (2002-2010) under Alvaro Uribe Velez’s administration. As Vice President of Colombia\, he put in place policies against corruption\, extortion and kidnapping. He led Colombia’s international promotion of trade\, investment and tourism. \nAmbassador Santos ran in the 2015 mayoral race for Bogota on the Democratic Center Party ticket. He promoted democracy and citizen participation in public affairs by the creation of Fundación Confianza Colombia. Santos was also the Democratic Center Party’s head of debate in 2017. \n\n\nBetween 2000 and 2002 he was forced to leave the country\, due to threats from the guerrilla group\, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). He lived in Madrid\, Spain\, for two years where he worked at El País\, the most important spanish newspaper. \nIn 1990 Santos was kidnapped by narcotrafficker Pablo Escobar. After 8 months of captivity he was released and created the world’s first NGO to fight kidnapping. Fundación País Libre promoted the Anti-Kidnapping Statute\, the only law tabled by public petition via signature collection in Colombia. \nIn the 1980’s he held several editorial positions in the major newspaper of Colombia\, El Tiempo\, including night Editor-in-Chief. Santos also taught journalism and international relations at Universidad Central\, Universidad Javeriana and Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano\, among others. \n\n\nSantos completed his studies in the United States at the University of Kansas and at the University of Texas\, earning degrees in Journalism and Latin-American Studies. He was awarded as a Neiman Fellow at Harvard University and won the Paul Harris Medal in 1993\, the highest distinction given by Rotary International. \nThe event is free and open\, though advanced registration is required.

SUMMARY:How Supply Chains and Data Science Are Preparing for Disruption
DESCRIPTION:In September 2019\, the Supply Chain & Logistics Society and Data Science & Analytics Society teamed up to discuss where Big Data and Analytics were being applied in supply chain. Much of the esteemed panel discussed disruptions globally. Little did the world realize the most acute\, global disruption would occur only months later with COVID-19. \nSix months after much of the US and world initially shutdown\, supply chains have had to quickly adjust to our “new normal”. Data science and analytics are paving the way to help supply chains adapt—not only to current challenges but in preparation for future disruptions. \nLearn how some of the leading\, global organizations are enabling supply chains with data science to not only survive the current global pandemic but also to thrive in the future.
