About Event

Come on down to Cavalla Industries in Dogpatch on June 20th for an evening where supply chains actually get interesting. Yes, really. We're pulling back the curtain on some of the latest advances in supply chain tech, and we're doing it over fresh sushi. In case that wasn't clear enough.

Ticket includes:

  • Sushi

  • Drinks

  • Entertainment

Dress code is steel toes and aprons (kidding). However, this is a working facility, not a conference room, so come ready to get a real look at what these machines can do up close.

We will be walking guests through what's new and what's next across both the robotics and supply chain technology space.

Come curious, come hungry, and come wearing appropriate footwear. Cavalla's North American HQ at 1630 Tennessee St in SF is the spot. We'll see you there on the 20th.
