Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo™ 2026 in Orlando

A Forum for Senior Supply Chain Leadership

The Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo™ is designed specifically for top-level decision-makers. Content and discussions focus less on point solutions and more on enterprise-wide implications: strategy, operating models, investment priorities, and organizational readiness.

Across three days, attendees engage with Gartner analysts and peers to assess what's changing in the supply chain landscape and what that means for their organizations in the near and mid-term.

Key themes to be addressed at the conference include:

• • Supply chain strategy and operating model evolution
  • Risk management, resilience, and cost control
  • Digitalization, data, and applied AI
  • Leadership, talent, and organizational effectiveness

Meet Miebach on the XPO Floor

Miebach works closely with senior executives to translate strategic intent into operational reality - whether that involves redesigning supply chain networks, modernizing facilities, or aligning planning, systems, and organizations for long-term performance.

The Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo™ gives us the opportunity to stay closely aligned with the priorities and concerns of today’s supply chain leadership, to validate emerging perspectives against real-world execution experience, and to engage in thoughtful dialogue with peers and clients at a strategic level.

If you are attending the conference, we welcome the opportunity to connect and exchange perspectives on the challenges and decisions currently shaping your supply chain agenda.

Miebach XPO Speaking Session

You Can’t Fix OTIF If You Don’t Control ATP
How Planning Discipline and a Clear Roadmap Restore Customer Service Levels

Join us for a moderated fireside conversation with Royal Canin, focused on a challenge many supply chain leaders recognize: declining customer service levels driven not by execution failures, but by commitments the supply chain was never positioned to meet.

The discussion explores how Royal Canin reframed persistent OTIF issues as a planning discipline problem, specifically the lack of trust, governance, and usage of Available to Promise (ATP). Rather than treating service instability as a logistics or inventory issue, the organization addressed the quality of the promise itself, using ATP and plan adherence to stabilize customer commitments and restore control.

Together, Royal Canin and Miebach share how fact-based diagnostics led to a clear, sequenced roadmap for planning transformation balancing immediate service recovery with longer-term improvements in cost, cash flow, and scalability.
