Inside the Gartner Supply Chain Symposium in Barcelona

Fresh off the stage at the Gartner Supply Chain Symposium | Xpo™ 2025 in Barcelona, Jessica Roberts sits down with Philip Vervloesem to reflect on a packed few weeks of insight, inspiration, and connection. From back-to-back events in Orlando and Barcelona to standout keynote moments, deep dives with industry leaders, and high-energy customer dinners, this episode captures the momentum shaping supply chain planning today.

Philip shares how the vibe in Barcelona differed from Orlando, what stood out in this year’s keynote presentations, and how real stories, like Nestlé’s journey, are shaping the path toward autonomous planning. They also break down OMP’s top positioning in the latest Magic Quadrant and what it means for customers today and tomorrow.
