The first exhibition day attracted no less than 3,000 visitors. Were you not there? Not to worry, because also on Thursday 8 November, the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht will open its doors for ICT & Logistiek. From a WMS tour to sessions on blockchain or supply chain management: this is what to do at the fair tomorrow.
AIM Tours
Due to the overwhelming range of exhibitors and innovations, visitors at a trade fair can sometimes lose their way through the trees. That's what the AIM Tours are for. These group tours inform visitors in no time about the latest developments in AUTO-ID and WMS. With both tours, you book about six exhibitors in groups.
The AUTO-ID Tour focuses on barcodes (1 and 2D), rfid, voice, wireless and fixed networks, mobile solutions and integration with logistics software packages such as ERP, WMS.
The WMS Tour informs you about the latest developments and applications and implementations in the field of Warehouse Management Systems.
Various times are still available for 8 November. You can register for both the WMS and AUTO-ID Tour here. In the menu, you can filter by theatres. There, choose 'Start point AIM Tours'.
TLN Tours
A recurring phenomenon at ICT & Logistiek: The TLN Tours. Twice a day, TLN organises a tour along a selection of well-known and new suppliers of TMS (Transport Management Systems) and FMS (Fleet Management Systems). This will give visitors a quick insight into what the market of ICT suppliers currently has to offer. The tours start at 10.30 am (TMS) and 1 pm (FMS) and last about 1 hour.

Seminairs on blockchain
Blockchain was a popular theme on the first day of the fair. At KennisDC's session 'Blockchain in logistics', dozens of interested parties were turned away as the room was filled to the brim. For them and other visitors tomorrow, another chance to get informed about Blockchain at the following seminars:
11:30 - 12:15 - Theatre 5: Blockchain Organising: What is it and what can you do with it?
13:15 - 13:34 - Theatre 2: Blockchain
Supply Chain Theatre: Sales & Operations Planning
This year, the Supply Chain Theatre will pay extra attention to the theme of supply chain management. On 8 November, the sessions in the theatre focus on Sales & Operations Planning. The sessions are in demand: some are already fully booked. Below are some sessions where there is still room (at the time of writing):
10:45 - 11:15 - Theatre 7: Demand Management - Help! Sales is not doing what I want...

Supply Chain Speed Consults
Would you like personal advice on an issue from your own supply chain practice? Then book a speed consultation with one of the speakers or one of the other experts present during the fair. They will be available for one-to-one 10-minute talks in which you can discuss your own case. For the speed consultations, please visit the Supply Chain Arena at the fair.
