AmCham Shanghai's Supply Chain Committee will host a webinar on to discuss Disruptions to Supply Chains Caused by COVID-19. This online event will take place March 19th, 10:30 to 11:30am China Standard Time (GMT+8).


After months of struggling to resume production, Chinese manufacturers seem to be passed the worst of the crisis domestically. As China recovers, how can companies get back to normal? As the attention focuses to the other areas of supply chain networks, there are still major concerns with transportation, inventory, and safety compliance. In this time of disruption, what are the new opportunities we should look for?


We will begin with a presentation from PWC's supply chain analyst, Jan T. Nicholas. His presentation will cover the broad implications of the outbreak as it relates to businesses and transportation. This will set the stage for our panel discussion, where our industry insiders will weigh-in with insights and personal experiences.


We hope you'll join in the discussion by submitting your questions and help to develop best practices within our AmCham community.
