As 2016 comes to an end, a quick thank you to all of our readers, followers, and sponsors for another great year of learning and conversation on Talking Logistics. The numbers speak for themselves:
37 episodes produced in 2016, totaling more than 1,100 minutes of conversations with thought leaders and newsmakers in the supply chain and logistics industry.
212 posts published on a wide range of timely and important industry topics, including the most comprehensive weekly news roundup in the industry and thought-provoking and insightful guest commentaries from our sponsors.
More than 116,900 followers on LinkedIn and Twitter combined (a 137 percent increase from last year), including 3,650+ CXOs, 3,400+ VPs, and 5,400+ Directors across many vertical industries and geographies.
More than 60 podcasts on iTunes of our past episodes.
Over $43,000 — the amount of money our Logistics Leaders for T1D Cure team raised in support of JDRF and its quest to turn Type 1 Diabetes into Type None.
And we continue to receive great feedback from supply chain and logistics professionals like you, such as this email from D.P., a Global Logistics Manager at a specialty chemicals company after he discovered the podcast version of our episodes:
Wow, this podcast is fantastic and it hits on everything I have been looking for. I looked a few months ago for something like this but didn’t find anything but thought I’d look again today and found your podcast. Really fantastic and I appreciate your efforts with this podcast.
On days when I wake up not knowing what to write about, or I’m suffering from a severe case of writer’s block, it’s comments like these that fill me with energy and purpose.
In case you missed them the first time around or want to watch/read them again, below are the most popular Talking Logistics video episodes and posts we aired/published this year. I encourage you to share this list with your colleagues, as well students, young professionals, and others who might be interested in joining our growing community. They can sign up for our email and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and iTunes to stay informed about upcoming episodes and to read our blog posts on industry trends and news.
Again, thank you for making this another fun and rewarding year on Talking Logistics. Happy Holidays and I wish you all continued health, happiness, and success in 2017.
