•             What developments are possible with regard to flow traceability, flexibility, responsiveness, and corporate and supply chain adaptability?
•             What will procedures for modelling, planning optimisation, and logistics decision-making supports look like in the digital future?
•             What share will the virtual and the physical take in digital supply chains?
•             Risk management and resilience in digital supply chains
•             Skills, training, and qualifications for logisticians (senior and middle managers and other staff) in the digital world
•             The impact of digitalisation on e-commerce logistics?
•             What logistics is required in a new, uberised, collaborative economy?
