Bonus

The Summit is also the introduction of Jannine Miller, the new head of the Center of Innovation for Logistics. Jannine fills the shoes of Page Siplon, the guy who started the Summit, and will without a doubt bring her own flair to the show. As a “Top 40 Under 40” (Georgia Trend, 2011) she is someone you need to know, especially if you are a business in Georgia.
