Supply chain executives are at a critical inflection point. Quantum computing promises to revolutionize logistics optimization while simultaneously threatening legacy systems. Furthermore, electrical grid vulnerabilities, geopolitical trade instability, and workforce demographic shifts are reshaping operational realities.

Yet, these same forces create unprecedented opportunities for leaders who act with foresight. Crossroads 2026 brings together senior supply chain executives to examine the converging disruptions that will define competitive advantage over the next decade. Through keynote insights and peer-led discussions, participants will explore how to transform these long-term challenges into sustainable advantages.

Since 2005, Crossroads has provided a unique learning experience by connecting industry executives with world-renowned MIT researchers and educators. Hosted by the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics (MIT CTL), this event offers an unparalleled opportunity to gain cutting-edge insights and network with thought leaders at the intersection of technology and supply chain management.
