Chris Gutierrez, President of the Kansas City Smart Port development will be speaking on Supply Chain development in the evolving Greater Kansas City.

The Smart Port activities over the past few years has brought many great things to the 18 County Greater Kansas City Region:   Many new employers; extensive new development to expand the rail, trucking, aerospace, distribution,  warehousing, Logistics providers (3PL & 4PL); thousands of new jobs in an economic downturn; and the recognition of how important and beneficial Supply Chain education is to the evolving world we live in.

The far reaching effects go north to St. Joseph and Cameron, Missouri; South past Fort Scott, Kansas; East to Sedalia / Columbia; and west to Topeka and Wichita.  All of us in these surrounding areas and in the main 18 county greater Kansas City region need to be aware of the accomplishments thus far, the commitments already made, and the future developments yet to come.  It is possible that ALL employers and residents will be impacted by these actions.
