Supply Chain Buzz Live for February 13th: Earthquake Relief Special Edition

The Supply Chain Buzz is Supply Chain Now’s regular Monday livestream, held at 12n ET each week. This show focuses on some of the leading stories from global supply chain and global business, always with special guests – the most important of which is the live audience!

This week’s edition of The Buzz featured hosts Scott Luton and Kevin L. Jackson, but not regular co-host Greg White, who was still celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win. The show also featured a special appearance by Koray Kose from Gartner and Selin Kapan-Green from Turkish Philanthropy Funds talking about the devastating earthquake that recently struck Turkey and Syria.

In this livestream, created in collaboration with a live Supply Chain Now audience, Scott and Kevin discussed:

• The initiative that is underway to incentivize partnerships between American companies and suppliers in Central America as a way of addressing the root causes of mass migration

• How bad actors in Mexico are trying to illicitly cash in on green gold in the form of avocados – and how law enforcement is fighting back

• The immediate on-the-ground efforts to save lives in Turkey and Syria, as well as how people around the world can most effectively support them
