Speakers
Parker Budding
Account Executive, osapiens
In an era of increasing complexity and accountability, how can supply chain, procurement, and sustainability leaders ensure control, compliance, and growth? Sustainable supply chains aren’t just a “nice to have” - they’re a strategic imperative. With new regulations like EUDR and shifting global tariff landscapes adding layers of complexity, supply chain, procurement, and sustainability leaders must rethink how they manage risk, collaborate with suppliers, and future-proof operations.
Join osapiens for an interactive workshop led by Parker Budding, exploring how organizations can use technology to build resilient, intelligent, and risk-free supply chains.
This session will spotlight three key areas:
EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation): Understand its growing global impact and how to achieve seamless product and supplier traceability.
Supply Chain Risk Management: Learn how to identify, score, and act on supplier risks across tiers.
Supplier Relationship Management (SRM): Discover how to centralize supplier engagement and improve collaboration and compliance.
Featuring a live audience poll and real-world walkthrough, the workshop will offer a clear path for companies to strengthen operational resilience and supplier accountability - without disrupting existing workflows.
Walk away with actionable insights and a better way to manage compliance, risk, and supplier performance - powered by osapiens HUB.

This timely workshop addresses the critical role of supply chain resilience through proactive risk management. As suppliers struggle with the deterioration of their cash conversion, liquidity and working capital— tariffs, and the threat thereof, increase costs further and create significant uncertainty. Join us for an interactive session led by industry experts where, as a group, we consider the fundamentals of risk, discuss macro trends and develop strategies and processes to best identify and mitigate supplier risk and improve supply chain resilience.
