aimed at helping chief supply‑chain officers and their teams predict disruptions, drive innovation and build resilient, technology‑enabled supply chains. According to Gartner, the event will combine data‑driven research, strategic dialogues with its on‑site experts and peer exchanges to help attendees validate and accelerate their supply‑chain strategies.
Gartner says the conference will feature keynote addresses, workshop tracks and a curated expo where vendors will demonstrate technologies and services. A Signature Series session entitled “Future of Supply Chain” will examine long‑range drivers shaping the discipline, geopolitical shifts, advances in artificial intelligence, tightening ESG requirements, talent scarcity and data governance, and is designed to help leaders identify the competitive characteristics they will need going forward. The Supply Chain Xpo Networking Reception will provide a formal setting to evaluate industry offerings and forge connections with Gartner analysts, exhibitors and fellow executives.
Registration is open, with early‑bird pricing at $5,375 available until 6 March 2026, standard pricing at $6,075 and a public‑sector rate of $5,025 for eligible attendees; group discounts and complimentary passes for groups of four or more paid attendees are also offered, according to Gartner’s registration information. Gartner also deploys a team of more than 60 on‑site supply‑chain specialists to work directly with delegates on practical challenges and to help validate action plans tailored to organisational needs.
The choice of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort places the symposium between Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The resort, which Gartner notes as the conference venue, offers multiple dining options, leisure amenities and Disney Resort guest benefits, including complimentary transportation to the parks and Disney Springs. Organisers emphasise the networking and informal learning opportunities that the location and structured evening events provide, as much of the conference value is derived from peer dialogue outside formal sessions.
Industry leaders attending will find a mix of future‑focused strategy content, hands‑on workshops and vendor showcases intended to accelerate digital transformation and resilience efforts. Gartner frames the Symposium/Xpo as a forum to surface actionable insight, rooted in its research, and to test those approaches against real‑world vendor capabilities and peer experience.
