Optilon Supply Chain Conference 2025

Uncertainty is no longer the exception; it’s the rule. From shifting geopolitics to rapid changes in AI, the pace of change is reshaping the way businesses think about supply chains.

How can organizations stay resilient in constant disruption? How can supply chains become both agile and sustainable? And what strategies are leaders using to turn unpredictability into opportunity? These were some of the big questions explored at the Optilon Supply Chain Conference 2025.

In case you missed it or want to revisit the highlights we’ve gathered keynote takeaways, customer stories, and photos from an inspiring day in Stockholm. Enjoy!
