Reuters Supply Chain USA is Reuters Events' annual leadership summit for senior supply chain executives, held in Chicago. The 2026 edition runs June 23-24 at the Marriott Marquis Chicago. Per the organizer, the event convenes approximately 500 senior leaders from retailers, manufacturers, and logistics providers — roughly 60% retailer and manufacturer attendance, with 70%+ at Director, VP, SVP, or C-suite level.
The program combines stage content with strategic hackathons, roundtables, workshops, and 18+ hours of dedicated peer networking. Sessions focus on supply chain transformation, AI in planning and logistics, automation, sustainability, and operating-model design. The 2025 edition (June 9-10, 2025, Chicago) featured 75 speakers across 12 interactive sessions; the 2026 edition has not yet published its full speaker roster at the time of writing.
Reuters Supply Chain USA is the North American companion to Reuters Events' broader supply chain program, which also runs editions in Europe and Asia. The event is positioned for in-person peer benchmarking rather than vendor expo — sponsorships are limited and routed through structured meeting programs.

Senior supply chain leaders attend to benchmark planning, logistics, and AI initiatives against peer retailers and manufacturers, run scenario hackathons against specific operating-model decisions, and use the high concentration of Director-and-above attendance for direct peer conversations.
Supply chain technology vendors, 3PLs, and consultancies sponsor Reuters Supply Chain USA to reach senior decision-makers at North American retailers and manufacturers in a structured-meeting format that prioritizes named-account conversations over expo foot traffic. The smaller scale (relative to broader supply chain events) trades volume for buyer concentration.
