Oct. 14 — CLU School of Management to present ‘Disrupting the Industry Technology Left Behind’

by Community Contributor • January 1, 2020 • Comments Off

On behalf of the School of Management, we continue to extend our heartfelt wishes for health and safety to you and your families. May our community continue to stay strong as we move FORWARD TOGETHER!

We are excited to invite the cofounders of Packform, Philip Weinmanand Preston Geeting (Cal Lu Alumnus ’02), who created an online marketplace that is revolutionizing the distribution industry.

In this moderated event, Weinman and Geeting will share how they developed and successfully implemented technology in an industry left behind by technology. Packform was designed to change and disrupt the current landscape by consolidating all suppliers and customers into a single marketplace with the distributors forming part of the supply chain, rather than controlling it. Within 12 months, Packform took the industry heavyweight competitors head on with a superior business model and scaled the business to become the Global Technology Startup of the Year. Weinman and Geeting will also share their ultimate vision of creating a marketplace that changes how distribution is done for all products, not just packaging.

This is a Zoom Meeting (NOT a webinar). There will be networking before and after the speakers, so you will have the opportunity to meet our guest speakers and other participants!

We hope you will join the community and engage in the discussion, as we move FORWARD TOGETHER.
