Brought to you by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), in partnership with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), this very special seminar will explore the insights and observations from the professions' response to Covid-19.

This online event will bring together senior figures from the MOD, wider industry and academia to analyse the importance of resilience, and the high-level lessons learnt across the profession during the Covid-19 crisis in their activities with the NHS.

The sessions will examine the MOD's logistics support response to the pandemic and compare it with that of industry and other government departments to inform and educate actionable insights and recommendations.

The webinar will consider key themes including:

• How the profession can use what we have learned for the future
• The importance of resilience in the supply chain
• How to overcome changes in demand
• How defence contributed to the national effort

The MOD note that the past few months has shown that alignment with Industry colleagues has become a crucial facet of the MOD's ability to successfully support the critical national infrastructure of the UK.

The Covid-19 Insights and Observations event will bring the logistics and supply chain community together and is a unique opportunity to hear from a range of expert speakers and panellists, including:

• Lieutenant General Richard Wardlaw, Chief Defence Logistics & Support (CDLS)
• Rear Admiral Andy Kyte, Assistant Chief of Defence Staff Support Operations
• Professor Richard Wilding, Professor & Chair of Supply Chain Strategy, Cranfield University
• Alan Wain, COO SCCL Limited
• Tony Mannix, CEO Clipper Logistics

This event is aimed at senior executive-level logistics and supply chain operations professionals across the MOD and industry, and is free to attend.
