Date:                13 – 14 April 2010
Venue:             JW Marriott, Jakarta, Indonesia
Time:               8.00am – 6.00pm

Synopsis:
Unlike its regional counterparts, the Logistics and Supply Chain industry in Indonesia faces unique challenges. Crumbling infrastructure, acute lack of electricity, poor and inadequate road networks and under-developed seaports and airports are some known barriers to Indonesia’s emergence as a regional economic force.  In spite of the challenging situation, the Indonesia freight transport sector is expected to grow by an average of 5.7 percent in volume terms from 2009-2013, higher than the forecasted GDP expansion of 5.2 percent during the same period, signally a promising future for the local logistic industry.
With the current administration’s commitment to improve infrastructure conditions, logistics and supply chains professionals across the Archipelago can expect increasing opportunities to realign business processes as Indonesia progresses in the coming months. This must-attend Logistics and Supply Chain Indonesia 2010 Conference is the perfect platform for leading logistics and supply chain professionals to meet, debate, explore and gain consensus on the emerging trends and challenges facing the industry today.
