Conferences are a great example of peer-to-peer learning in action, but with so many supply chain and logistics conferences available, how do you decide which ones to attend?

As I look at the financials, I question what the value could be if we got serious about innovation through new forms of analytics. For a gal like me, innovation is painfully slow.
