NEW YORK (PRWEB) September 28, 2021 - Manifest 2022 celebrates women in LogisticsTech with an exclusive luncheon event in partnership with DHL Supply Chain, project44 and AEye on Jan. 26, 2022, at The Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. Manifest is the inaugural event bringing together the most comprehensive ecosystem of innovation and transformation in LogisticsTech and the global Supply Chain. Women in leadership positions have increased dramatically over the past 5 years across the logistics industry; Manifest, DHL, project44 and AEye have joined to celebrate this achievement and discuss future opportunities for gender and cultural diversity in the supply chain and logistics space.

Organizationally, we have committed to increasing the number of women in our management ranks to 30 percent by 2025 says Meredith Singletary, Head of Diversity & Inclusion, DHL Supply Chain, North America. In support of this goal, DHL Supply Chain North America has developed a roadmap focusing on the recruitment and retention of women into the logistics industry, development opportunities for women, a balanced approach for work, and an inclusive culture. Working together, we aim to attract and build the next generation of women leaders.

At AEye, we know that the best companies, teams and products originate from diverse teams, made up of diverse engineering and design minds, who bring unique perspectives to the table, said Blair LaCorte, CEO of AEye. As such, we are proud to support organizations like Women in Autonomy, which equips and empowers women to become leaders and change-makers in their field, and to partner with Manifest to celebrate the advancement of women in supply chain and logistics.

Featured speakers at the luncheon include DHLs Vice President of Innovation Gina Chung and CEOXs Founder Luann Abrams. In addition, the balance of the Manifest program features a large number of female industry leaders in recognition of the importance of diversity in all industries.

The Womens Luncheon is a fantastic opportunity to connect with and support accomplished female leaders in the supply chain and logistics industry, said Diane Gordon, SVP of global customer success and head of womens leadership initiatives at project44. Im encouraged by the increasing diversity that Im seeing among leadership at project44 and throughout the industry, and I know that progress will further accelerate as we recruit and retain more women in leadership roles in the months ahead.
