Take your Logistics and Trade Partnerships to the Next Level

October 14, 2025 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM (CDT)

Description

Global trade is complex, and strong partnerships are often the difference between smooth operations and costly disruptions. 

This October 14 luncheon event will explore practical ways companies can strengthen collaboration with logistics providers, carriers, and trade partners to drive more reliable performance and reduce friction in day-to-day operations. 

Speakers from C.H. Robinson, a leading global logistics provider, will share insights on how leading organizations are approaching collaboration between logistics and trade —what works, what doesn’t, and where companies can start. Learn about real-world examples of building trust, sharing duty mitigation strategies effectively, and aligning priorities and partnerships across the supply chain.

Participants will walk away with strategies they can apply immediately, whether it’s improving communication with partners, creating more transparent agreements, or finding new ways to adapt together when challenges arise. The discussion will also give leaders the chance to exchange experiences and learn from peers facing similar issues.

Speakers include:  

  • Kevin Doucette, Director, Trade Policy & Security Trade Policy | C.H. Robinson
  • Ryan Hammett, Director, Market Intelligence & Insights| C.H. Robinson

Panel presentation moderated by:  Jenny Patzlaff, Supply Chain Practice Director, UWEBC (UW-Madison).
