From Manifest Women's Luncheon Speaker to SVP, Industry Relations & Strategic Initiatives!

NEW YORK,  April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Manifest Vegas is pleased to announce that Katie Date - who has worked at the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics (CTL) for over nine years - is now joining the Manifest team! Katie will assume the role of SVP, Industry Relations & Strategic Initiatives, a pivotal position that will focus on shipper relationships and attendance, facilitate the show's growth, and elevate its content around topics that are important to the industry including gender diversity and DEI as a whole.

"To say we are thrilled to welcome Katie to our team is the understatement of the year! Katie is an accomplished leader in the supply chain industry and her knowledge, expertise and deep relationships will help us continue to elevate the Manifest brand for all of our customers and the industry at large. We are excited for what the future holds with Katie working side by side with our team" said Courtney Muller, President of Manifest.

During her time at MIT CTL, Katie was responsible for managing industrial relations as well as working with the international network of Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence (SCALE) centers to better connect them to research and corporate engagement opportunities. Additionally Katie was responsible for the creation, implementation, and management of several custom executive education courses.

Katie is passionate about helping companies realize the benefits of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) in their organizations and in their supply chains. In 2018 she founded the MIT CTL Women in Supply Chain Initiative which seeks to better understand gender balance in supply chain management. The initiative aims to create knowledge and tools for people interested in creating more gender balance in their organizations.

"I am so excited to join this team. Manifest Vegas has quickly become THE place for Supply Chain professionals to network with their peers and learn from leaders in the industry" said Katie Date. "The passion of this team to create an event that brings together the key players who will influence the future of LogisticsTech and Supply Chain is so apparent, and I could not be more enthusiastic to be a part of it. I can't wait to see what the future brings!"
