<em><strong>THE Home Delivery Value Chain Event: From Retail to Logistics</strong></em></h3>

<p><strong>Home Delivery World 2018 is returning to Atlanta for its sixth year as THE forum where retailers, grocers and solution providers gather to discuss delivery operations challenges and trends.</strong></p>

<p>Since its inception, Home Delivery World has served some of the biggest retailers and most forward-thinking grocers. There has never been a bigger opportunity to meet and collaborate with your peers under the same roof.</p>

<h4><em><strong>Georgia Tech Students!</strong></em></h4>

<h4>SCL is again serving as an official Education and Research Partner with our own Tim Brown moderating roundtables on &quot;Innovation Case Studies&quot; on the first day of the event and &quot;Vertical Supply Chain &amp; Uberization&quot; on the second. The event&nbsp;is&nbsp;open to the public&nbsp;and &quot;Exhibition-only&quot; passes are free.</h4>

<p>A limited number of &quot;All Access&quot; passes will be made available to students in exchange for a day of blogging (grants access to activities in addition to the expo&hellip;stop by the SCL suite - Groseclose 228 or email&nbsp;<a href="mailto:event@scl.gatech.edu">event@scl.gatech.edu</a>&nbsp;for more information).</p>

<p><em><strong>Some key topics at the conference will be:&nbsp;</strong></em></p>

<ul>
	<li>Understanding the four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus; passion for invention; commitment to operational excellence and long-term thinking</li>
	<li>Exploring new innovations within and beyond the last mile through new brands, small businesses, and the Northeast&rsquo;s busiest people</li>
	<li>Expanding outside the U.S using creative tech enabled software</li>
	<li>Cleverly placing fulfilment centers to achieve lower picking costs, higher picking rates and less substitutions</li>
	<li>Analyzing a real-world example of how a digital core powers a highly dynamic and agile supply chain to make real-time purchase, routing, and pricing decisions</li>
	<li>Provide quantitative and qualitative attributes for the products leveraging integrated Blockchain, IoT, and Cognitive technologies</li>
	<li>The best practices that can help you achieve logistical excellence across your delivery ecosystem</li>
