Keller Logistics Summit Gathers Industry Experts in Defiance

Hosted at the rustic Cooper Lodge at Camp Lakota, the one-day summit strips away sales pitches to focus on high-level strategy. Bryan Keller, CEO of Keller Logistics Group, designed the event to facilitate candid discussions that are often absent from larger, more commercialized industry conferences. This year’s agenda features Lora Cecere of Supply Chain Insights, who will critique traditional performance metrics, and Jason Miller of Michigan State University, who provides critical forecasts on freight rates and capacity.

Technological implementation takes center stage with Trent Gillespie, former Amazon executive and founder of Stellis AI, who aims to demystify the deployment of operational AI. The event concludes with an expert panel moderated by Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, featuring representatives from the American Trucking Associations and the International Warehouse Logistics Association. These speakers will address urgent industry pressures, including cargo theft, diesel costs, and shifting labor regulations, offering a grounded outlook for shippers navigating an increasingly volatile landscape.
