If you were still a little sleepy when getting to the Thomas Murphy Ballroom on Wednesday morning, that feeling probably didn’t last long. The magnitude and surprises in the information shared and the amount of intellect that was exhibited and shared by the panelists provided more of a mental jolt than any amount of coffee could accomplish.
But, first the good news shared by MHI CEO George W. Prest: “Despite all the news, there has been a lot of energy on the floor… We have had better-than-expected attendance.”
If you attended the conversation with Peyton and Archie Manning, you probably weren’t expecting to find out the secrets to running a successful supply chain operation. And you’d be right! But, you probably also didn’t realize that there are a lot of similarities involved in running a successful football play and running a successful supply chain team. Or, that it could be so interesting hearing about some of the similarities from the very charismatic and, yes, comedic Mannings.
"It takes a community to put it together," said CEO George Prest at Industry Night with Colin Jost. He said the Innovation Awards,in particular, draw more and more applications every year, with this year topping off at 155. Then, came the moment everyone had been waiting for: the big reveal of the winners, not only for the Innovation Awards, but a few others as well!
The 2020 MHI Innovation Award winners were Agility Robotics, OPEX and Yard Management Solution.
The Young Professional Award (YPN) went to Lisa Richardson of Hytrol.
The Mentor Award went to John Rosenberger of The Raymond Corporation.
After the awards, Brett Wood, MHI Chairman, announced that "George is retiring later this year" and presented him with a picture and thanked him for his service to our industry. "It has absolutely been my honor," said Prest.
