The SCALA Annual Supply Chain Debate has established itself as a key event in the logistics industry calendar.
The Debate provides a valuable opportunity for senior professionals to hear from expert speakers and engage in insightful discussions on pressing issues within Supply Chain and Logistics.

SCALA’s 2025 Annual Supply Chain Debate will focus on one of the most pressing topics in modern supply chain management: “Rethinking supply chain globalisation – is it time to shift strategies?”.

In an era of increasing geopolitical tensions, shifting trade policies, and growing physical supply chain disruptions, many businesses are reconsidering their global sourcing strategies.

Join us for the Debate to hear industry experts and thought leaders explore key factors such as:

Nearshoring vs. Offshoring – can localised production improve supply chain resilience?
Geopolitical Risks – how do trade conflicts and regulatory changes impact global supply networks?
Physical Supply Chain Challenges – from pandemic-related disruptions to transportation bottlenecks, is a global approach still viable?

As always, we have a fantastic line-up of speakers on our panel. Joining us to share their views will be:

Professor John Manners-Bell, Founder, Foundation for Future Supply Chain and Author, “The Death of Globalization”
Kirsty Lantos, Chief Operating Officer, Tangle Teezer
Jim Gallagher, Supply Chain & Logistics Director, BSH Home Appliances
Jenn Smiley, Head of Customer Supply & Logistics, Jordans Dorset Ryvita
Tiger Wang, Chairman, Ocean Business Group, Suzhou

Join us for drinks and networking from 10:00 with the Debate itself commencing at 11:00. A buffet lunch follows with the event closing at 14:00.
