It’s always invigorating to connect with likeminded people. Whether it’s a concert, a sporting event, or yes, a conference for those in your specific line of work, it feels good to share an experience with others and realize we’ve got something in common.
That’s why here at Kinaxis, we’re pretty excited: Next week is Kinexions 2024. This year, we’re bringing our annual supply chain conference to sunny Miami, Florida. Starting on June 17, we’ll be gathering with supply chain professionals and thought leaders joining us from around the world for three days of exclusive, inspiring content and great conversation capped off with electrifying entertainment from Flo Rida during our Community Celebration.
Each year, we get repeat attendees because the Kinexions experience delivers. And 2024 is no exception. Our agenda is sizzling with options for everyone, whether you’re interested in diving into how AI is transforming supply chain orchestration, supply chain strategy inspiration, building teams ready to take on the world, and everything in between.
Sessions you won’t want to miss
Kinexions is packed with great material to keep your schedule jumping. This year we’ve got over 60 sessions with presentations, panels and demos from Kinaxis leaders, customers and partners. Check out some of highlighted sessions:
Embrace Simplicity. Start an Innovation Revolution (June 19): Our 2024 keynote speaker is Lisa Bodell, founder and CEO of FutureThink.

DEMO: The Supply Chain Symphony—Demonstrating End-to-End Intelligence Orchestration (June 19): Meet customer demands. Be cost effective. Maintain agility. Prioritize sustainability. As a supply chain professional, you have to strike an impossible balance with techniques and tools that leave you trapped in a silo. What would your life look like if you had end-to-end supply chain orchestration – from strategic multi-year planning through last mile delivery? In this live demo and presentation, let our Kinaxis leaders show you how orchestration, fueled by concurrency and AI, helps you achieve the impossible.
At the heart of Kinexions, it’s about people.
Of course, Kinexions is an excellent place to boost your knowledge in interactive sessions. We’re offering five exclusive pre-conference training sessions and several hands-on lab breakouts (those are at full capacity as of press time, but it couldn’t hurt to ask if you’re on-site in case of no-shows!).
Finally, as we’ve already mentioned above, going to Kinexions is about connecting with people. There will be ample opportunities to network, mingle and chat with colleagues with receptions, networking breaks and “meet the experts” opportunities.
On June 19, we close with a high-energy party fitting the casual, sizzling energy of Miami. Join us at the Sport of Kings Theatre for our celebration with fantastic food, chances to hang out with fellow attendees and savor that “Good Feeling” with a performance by musical artist Flo Rida.
