- The Road Ahead for Autonomous Vehicles - Prof. John Leonard, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab
- Time to Talk About Conversational Commerce - Prof. Brian Subirana, MIT Auto-ID Laboratory
- What About the Legal and Policy Implications of Vehicle Autonomy - Prof. Daniel Weitzner, MIT Internet Policy Research Initiative, CSAIL
Crossroads is a one-day event that brings together experts from MIT, the world’s foremost center for technological innovation, and the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL), the global leader in supply chain education and research, to offer a truly unique learning opportunity. Crossroads is where you will discover how emerging innovations intersect with supply chain management (SCM).
No other event provides this blend of expertise - one reason why the Crossroads conference series has become the SCM community's most important forum for new ideas since its inception more than 14 years ago.“Crossroads has become the industry’s most compelling forum for the ideas that will shape tomorrow's supply chains,” says Yossi Sheffi, Elisha Gray II Professor of Engineering Systems, MIT, and Director of MIT CTL. "Crossroads 2018 will showcase technologies and strategies that industry professionals need to be aware of.”
