“Some events spark ideas. Others spark action.
  “At our WhereNext Chicago September 11th, we are aiming for both.”
  Sage words from Kuehne+Nagel’s CEO & President USA Marcus Bennett, as the erstwhile executive invited colleagues to an all-day preview K+N branded Where Next Chicago that showcased the latest and greatest from the forwarder.
  The event also included some hours spent getting down to business of sharing and mining some big ideas ahead in Healhcare Logistics.
  Right now as Summer 2025 fades like the full Blood Moon earlier this week, the ramped-up season of Industry trade shows is off to the races in full force.
  This event from K+H proved that sometimes most important meetings are being conducted right under your nose.
  “First our event showcased our major investment, state of the art, GxP-compliant cool chamber building to explore the next big moves in Healthcare Logistics.
  “From navigating regulatory shifts to advancing cold chain innovation, the conversations that happened here will help shape the future of resilient supply chains. 
  “We looked forward to engaging sessions with our customers, industry experts and colleagues.
  “Was honored to open the day with a 9/11 remembrance, then setting the tone for an exciting day and closing the day with reflections on what we’ve learned—and where we’ll go next.”
  With a tip of the hat to the people at K+N & organizations like Brandon Fried’s Airforwarders Association that support local activities from Frankfurt to Timbuktu, to Chicago USA, their brilliance reminds us that often knowledge and success lies, right under our eyes:
  Back in our own backyard!
