I realized some may not know of my twitter feed which is now up to close to 8K VERIFIED followers (have to go through a verification process to prevent robots from following). I "micro blog" at that site a lot more frequently. The link is:

CSCMP 2012 Was A Huge Success - On to CSCMP 2013 in Denver
My blogging has been slow to non existent this week due to the great Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) 2012 Annual Global Conference in Atlanta. However, I did "burn up" the twitterverse this week (see tweets for logisticsexpert and search for #cscmp2012) as I tried to keep everyone up to date on the happenings at the conference.
It was a fantastic conference and I really enjoyed running track 6 - Energy and Infrastructure. We had great presentations from Walter Zimmermann, the Kansas City Southern Rail, the Environmental Defense Fund, The Port of Long Beach, Smartway (EPA Partnership with Industry) along with case studies on natural gas implementations which occurred at two major shippers. These successful implementations are truly the "win-win-win" where the companies have lowered costs, done great things for the environment and have contributed to our nation's move to a domestic fuel source.
Two highlights of the conference were to hear T. Boone Pickens speak (Read about the Pickens Plan here) and I actually was able to attend a luncheon with him. What a fantastic person and his work to get this country an affordable domestic fuel source should be praised by everyone in the country.
I also was thrilled and excited to see Erik Wahl (The Art of Vision) motivate us about creativity and innovation in a very unique way - he paints incredible pictures during his talk! Below is a Youtube video of him (not the one at CSCMP) and you will immediately see what I mean.
I have been attending these conferences for years and this was the best one I have ever been too. The energy, excitement and pertinent topics were all fantastic. I am already looking forward to Denver 2013!
