Date: Wednesday, June 21, 2023
Time: 12:00-1:00 pm ET
CITT is pleased to present a whitepaper by the Conestoga College Magna Centre for Supply Chain Excellence: Usage of Blockchain in Canadian Supply Chains, the second of such annual reports.
Blockchain is a crucial emerging technology for supply chain logistics. In 2021, the Conestoga College Magna Centre for Supply Chain Excellence undertook a study to better understand the breadth and depth of blockchain adoption in Canadian supply chains. Until then, we had little insight into the landscape of the sector as a whole.
This second study, conducted a year later, compares how attitudes and adoption of blockchain have evolved. The results are surprising – in this webinar, the publishers of the study walk through the results and field your questions. No matter your organization’s current or future plans for blockchain and distributed leger technology, you’ll want the fresh insights in this update.
