Melbourne, November 2008

GRA is proud to sponsor the SMART 2009 Conference.

Held every two years, the Smart Conference is the largest supply chain and logistics event staged in Australia and is the major forum of its type in Asia-Pacific.

Presenters at SMART 2009 will share insights and knowledge on the latest supply chain challenges facing businesses worldwide. Given the current global financial crisis, supply chain practitioners need more than ever to find new and clever ways to sustain and grow their businesses, and it is hoped that this conference will provide such inspiration and practical advice.

As part of the sponsorship arrangement, GRA supply chain consultants will have specialists available to discuss supply chain and logistics management challenges with attendees for the duration of SMART 2009.
