Advancing Your Supply Chain

Founded in 2019, GLA began as a grassroot effort when a number of executives came together in search of a platform for sharing knowledge and experiences in the field of logistics. They were driven to focus on impactful, resonant problem solving. Seeking to evolve companies rather than individuals, the association has two primary pillars:
  • Industry Collaboration through forums and events, including the annual Georgia Logistics Conference, helping members to transfer knowledge and share best practices as a catalyst to invigorate meaningful infrastructure projects, energizing Georgia and the Southeast to be the most efficient logistics hub in the United States.
  • Technology Innovation by hosting the world’s largest showcase of cloud-based supply chain and logistics innovation (SCALI) technologies. SCALI is the platform for innovative software companies to showcase their solutions and demonstrate how companies can leverage emerging technologies. SCALI is the home for the global innovators, digital disruptors, and business leaders to meet and experience supply chain transformation.

Sharpen Your Competitive Edge

Companies rely on Georgia’s logistics infrastructure and services to handle and haul more than 900 billion USD of cargo each year. Our state has unparalleled options for cost-effective intermodal transportation – ocean, truck, rail, and air – as well as reliable connections to suppliers and customers, and the technology and workforce that make efficient logistics possible.
