Here’s what fellow executives say about Operations Summit:

Gough Grubbs, SVP Distribution & Logistics, Stage Stores: It’s been terrific, it’s been very enlightening, getting to talk to people who actually do it, as opposed to just reading about it, is a real experience.
Erik Caldwell, SVP Logistics & Supply Chain, Hudson’s Bay: It went really well this year. Again, I like this because it’s more intimate, you get to know people when you see them every year, it’s also a chance for us to meet with multiple suppliers in one place, which is a really fantastic thing, because typically we have a lot of meetings throughout the year, so to have five, seven, ten suppliers in one place makes it a lot easier.
Rob Krieger, President, Checker Distributors: It’s went very well, we picked up a number of ideas, thoughts, we’ve seen the new technologies and we’re investing in it because we really believe in what you’re doing here with the Ops Summit. We were here last year at Louisville and put about 2 million bucks into new processes and we’ll keep on going.
