Update: Supplier Digital Summit Format


For our suppliers attending the Supplier Digital Summit on March 18th, we wanted to share an update about a change in how we’re delivering our live stream sessions.

We are no longer able to live stream our sessions due to unforeseen circumstances, however, we will be making the same sessions available on-demand.

What does that mean for you?


Instead of tuning in at specific times to view our live sessions, our on-demand offering means that all sessions will be pre-recorded and available online at the same time, starting at 9am EST on Wednesday March 18th.

Despite the change in format, we’re excited to provide you with a roster of new sessions covering the supplier roadmap, best practices and more. With the on-demand experience, you can browse our session library tune in at your convenience. Registration is free and open to all suppliers.
