 You are a very docile and responsive crowd. I noticed I walked up here before, all of a sudden it got quiet. Like you went down, you started talking again. Came back up quiet. So I'm glad for that because that helps us get an on-time start. It is exactly nine o'clock, and that's our start time, and I wanted to use this as an illustration. We're going to have hard stops and hard starts. So we're going to be on schedule today. My name is Jim Rice. I'm the Deputy Director here at the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, and I want to welcome you to this event, Innovation in Motion, Shaping the Future of Supply Chain. We are celebrating our 50th year here at MIT, the center, and so this is one of a series of events that we're hosting. We are very fortunate to have a great partner who's worked very closely together with us on this, and that's GS1 US, my colleagues Melanie Hilton and Bob Chekowitz, and Bob Carpenter, whose CEOs joined us as well. We're grateful and they put together a really wonderful agenda for us today. The event intends to examine five areas that we believe will have some impact on supply chains in the future. Those include the automation of everything, data, data, data, driving value, and business decisions, connected experiences, understanding the consumer, sustainability in the supply chain, and the future of innovation, societal and social impacts. We're covering a broad swath, we're covering key issues, we got a lot to cover today. The structure is going to be as follows. Each of those five areas will consume 75 minutes. We'll be moderated by one individual either from our center MIT CTL or from GS1 US. It will start with a kickoff speaker who will speak for 20 minutes and after that, the speaker will be joined by several panelists who will then take the balance of the time under the tutelage of the moderator to examine and explore that subject area further. We're going to use Slido as a way to solicit your input for questions that we would submit to the panel and for the moderator to consider. I want to also ask you to take notes. What I mean by that is I want you to take notes about your insights. One of the handouts I see, most of you have a little booklet there, it's the MIT CTL booklet. I would like you to use that to write notes about what your observations are, what are the takeaways. At the end of the day, I'm going to come back up here and I'm going to ask you to share some of your insights. We find that this is a very useful way to, in a sense, create some new knowledge that we can derive from the discussions and your interpretations of those and your insights that you come from. You take away from that. Take note after each session, don't wait to the end because you're going to forget there's going to be a lot that we're consuming today. For reference, a little bit about the logistics. The bathrooms are out the door to your back and moving to my right. Many of you had a little bit of a breakfast brief here earlier. There's a hallway just to the right, and then the restrooms are on either side, down one of the halls down that way. In the case of an event of emergency, there's an exit out the back doors and go to the left. There's a stairwell to the right back there. There's also a stairwell off to the right down that hallway. We covered logistics. Key thing, please put your phones on mute and silence so that we can have a focused attention here on our session today. With that, I'm going to introduce our first session, our first speaker, the moderator, and that's Dr. Chris Kaplus. Chris is the Executive Director of the MIT Center for Transportation Logistics. His research area is focused on transportation, but he's going to be leading the session. That's topic is the automation of everything. Chris, I'd like to turn things over to you now.
