Futurologist to keynote GCCA Cold Chain Summit
Clem Sunter, a scenario planner and futurologist from South Africa, will keynote the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA) South Africa Cold Chain Summit, to be held October 18-19, 2015 in Cape Town, South Africa.
The two-day summit will bring together more than 100 cold chain professionals from around the world to discuss the South African cold chain industry, its global impact, and how to operate successfully within the market. It features general/plenary sessions, education sessions, networking events, and a tabletop exhibition.
“The big-picture vision of the future that Clem Sunter offers is what industry executives need to ensure the strong growth and evolution of the cold chain in South Africa,” said Corey Rosenbusch, GCCA president and chief executive officer. “This is already a major cold chain market, and there is huge potential ahead in this nation.”
Since 1987, Sunter has written 17 books, some of which have been best-sellers. He is also working to mobilize the private sector in the war against HIV/AIDS and create a new generation of entrepreneurs in South Africa.
“Thinking like a fox is very much like being a scenario planner,” said Sunter. “Foxes look at the environment to see how it’s changing and are quick to respond. In light of the tough economic times, businesses need to constantly adapt to changes in the market.”
