September 20-22, 2022 | MGM Grand Detroit
Join us again on September 26-28, 2023 | #ALSCLIVE
Thank Your For Attending Our Biggest Event Yet!
The torrid years of pandemic and geopolitical disruption, component shortages and freight bottlenecks have hurt global automotive production and sales, with uncertainty still prevailing. For all its scars, however, the North American automotive industry could emerge more competitive, transparent and sustainable – thanks to increasingly resilient and connected supply chains, and closer partnerships across stakeholders and functions. Renewed investment in infrastructure, localisation and skills are also powering this resurgence.
The Automotive Logistics & Supply Chain Global returned to the MGM Grand Detroit on September 20-22 to explore the renaissance in supply chain management and how logistics can succeed in a fast-changing environment.
The 22nd annual conference shaped the future strategies across pertinent topics including Achieving Net Zero, Digitalising Logistics, End-to-End Supply Chain Vision, Networks of the Future and Developing Logistics Talent.
We hope you gained lots of valuable insights and made some new connections along the way!

Supply chain shortages, disruptions and trade complexities are set to endure for North American manufacturers, requiring greater agility and resilience in logistics and freight management. ALSC Global delves into how OEMs and suppliers can mitigate risk, with insight on the use of alternative ports and shipping routes, switching suppliers, creating strategic inventory locations, avoiding custom and tariff issues, and partnering closely with the right logistics providers.
Achieving net zero
READ MORE
Carmakers in North America have committed to carbon zero objectives, which will significantly impact supply chain and logistics decisions, from supplier and plant locations to the balance of road, rail and intermodal. ALSC Global charts the course for reducing emissions and waste, including reengineered freight networks, optimising packaging fill rates, using recycled materials and investing in alternative fuels and low-carbon trucking.
Digitalising logistics

End-to-end supply chain vision
READ MORE
Today’s automotive manufacturing and distribution require careful visualisation of every part, plant, vehicle and dealership. Supplier and production decisions made without considering cost, quality and lead time could lead to wider disruption.

Developing logistics talent
READ MORE
Labour shortages are squeezing the North American supply chain as much as component or capacity issues, with a lack of truck drivers and operators across ports, plants, yards and warehouses. The conference brings together the stakeholders from manufacturers and logistics providers to find solutions, such as adapting routes and technology.
