What does it take to build the biggest supply chain event in the world and keep it relevant in an industry that never sits still? In this episode of Supply Chain Decoded, Jenni Ruiz sits down with Tanzil Uddin, SVP of Content and Partnerships at Manifest, for a behind-the-scenes look at how one of supply chain’s most influential conferences comes to life. From curating programming for 400+ speakers to tracking the trends shaping procurement, cold chain, AI, sustainability, and beyond, Tanzil shares how the Manifest team keeps a real-time pulse on what operators actually need. He also reflects on the early days of Manifest, the challenge of changing industry perception, and why creating space for candid peer conversations has become one of the event’s greatest strengths. Jenni and Tanzil also dig into what makes a conference feel truly worth attending, how sponsorship and editorial integrity can work together, what’s ahead for Manifest 2027 and Manifest Europe, and why the best technology conversations always start with understanding the problem first. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.
