At GS1 Connect 2025: Amplify in Nashville, Tennessee, we will explore all the ways businesses can tune in with their audiences and crank up the volume on their supply chain transparency, visibility, and efficiency.  

Plan now to share your innovative ideas and insights and contribute to a dynamic exchange of knowledge that will drive progress and amplify impact across the supply chain.

Applications for session proposals will be accepted now through December 13.

We are looking for general session proposals to address:  

• Industry drivers like regulatory requirements (U.S. FDA Food Safety Modernization Act Traceability Rule [FSMA Rule 204], Drug Supply Chain Security Act [DSCSA], etc.), Change of the National Drug Code format, and consumer/patient expectations for data/information  
• Company, product, and location identification as the foundation of supply chain excellence and considerations for accurate, complete master data 
• Omni-channel fulfillment in a “phygital” environment where physical and digital supply chains converge   
• End-to-end visibility and transparency for bottom-line results, happy customers/patient safety, and recyclability in a more sustainable world    
• Best practices, from inventory management to recall preparedness, via effective traceability processes   
• Managing product and location data during mergers and acquisitions     
• Implementation and use of 2D barcodes and advanced data carriers including RAIN radio frequency identification (RAIN RFID) and the use of GS1® Digital Link   
• Use of technological innovations, like artificial intelligence (AI), that leverage GS1 Standards for expanded interoperability and improved automation
• Case study examples for exemplary trading partner collaboration to advance streamlined operations and mutual benefits/ROI   

Or, consider these opportunities to speak with trading partners and share tips and best practices for a better business relationship.

• “How to Do Business With...” sessions highlight specific business requirements for trading partner collaboration. These sessions typically focus on data recipients’ (retailers, operators, distributors, hospitals) data needs and provide an opportunity to clarify specific requirements for seamless item set-up, data maintenance and data quality checks and various data sharing scenarios.
• Trading Partner Roundtables provide a short 20-minute, informal setting to facilitate collaborative trading-partner-to-trading-partner discussions on using standards-based best practices.

If you are selected as a speaker, you will receive: 

• Complimentary full-conference registration – a $2,025 value! 
• Promotion of name, photo, and company as part of our conference website and other marketing materials providing recognition as an industry leader  
• Access to the speaker green room, a conveniently located private space to relax and work for the duration of the conference
