Why You Should Attend the 2025 GAINS Summit

GAINS Summit

October 15–16, 2025 | Atlanta, GA | Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center

These days, disruption isn’t a surprise—it’s just part of doing business. The question is: how do you stay agile, make confident decisions, and lead through constant volatility—without falling behind?

That’s where the 2025 GAINS Summit comes in.

This year’s theme, Defying Disruption, brings together supply chain pros from across industries to share ideas, spark strategies, and build resilience—together. It’s not just about listening to sessions (though there are plenty of those). It’s about real conversations with people who’ve been in the trenches, who get what you’re dealing with, and who are ready to trade ideas that work.

You’ll leave with new connections, fresh insights, and a game plan for tackling whatever’s next. Whether you’re looking to pressure-test your strategy, explore new tech, or just have some smart conversations with people who speak your language—this is the room to be in.
