IGD Paris Supply Chain Seminar

Join us in Paris on 23rd September for a free supply chain seminar that will benchmark the French food retail supply chain against that of the UK. With collaboration having developed rapidly over the past 10 years in the UK and at a lesser pace in France, this seminar is your opportunity to hear directly from Tesco and Casino Group, see examples of best practice from both countries and network with like-minded supply chain professionals.

Places are limited, and as the event is free to attend, they are likely to be taken very quickly. Reserve yours now.

	Get inspired by successful examples of leading supply chains
	Supply chain considerations are becoming an increasing element of commercial negotiations.
