SUMMARY:Information Sharing in Supply Chains and Offshore Wind

Event participation options include both online and limited seating in person.

Its eponymous platform drives efficiency and scalability by sharing data between otherwise incompatible systems and applications.  \nKevin has over 20 years of experience in marketing and strategy.
