As volatility, labor shifts, and margin pressure continue to redefine warehouse operations, many leaders are rethinking what it means to be “efficient.” 2026 will demand more than productivity; it will require operational agility rooted in financial visibility.

Join Dwight Klappich, former Gartner Fellow and Principal at DK Advascent, and Dean Dorcas, CEO of Easy Metrics, for a candid fireside chat exploring what’s next for warehouse operations in 2026. 

Together, they’ll unpack lessons from 2025, discuss how data-driven performance visibility is reshaping decision-making, and share predictions for how cost-to-serve and profit management will evolve in the next year.

Key discussion themes include:

• What 2025 revealed about the limits of productivity-focused metrics
• How leading operators are redefining “visibility” to link operations to profit
• The growing role of unified data models in driving agility and transparency
• Why 2026 will separate operators that adapt their strategies early from those that react too late
