The Jarrett Supply Chain Summit is back for year four — and it's bigger than ever. In this episode of Freight Marketing Gurus, Jennie Malafarina sits down with Jacquie Mazziotta, Senior Marketing Manager at Jarrett, to talk about what's coming to Cleveland on August 5–6, 2026.

We cover it all: Kevin O'Leary as the keynote, the Port of Cleveland tour, the VIP reception at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a packed agenda built around three tracks — supply chain expertise, supply chain risk mitigation, and supply chain innovation. Jacquie also breaks down the hottest topics on this year's program: AI in supply chain, cargo and freight fraud, NMFTA updates, the Supreme Court ruling and what it means for brokers, no-code integration, and network optimization.

Plus — what's the Yacht Rock Gold Experience, and how is the Heartland Education Benefit raising money for youth programming the day after the summit? You'll find out.

Jacquie closes with the marketing advice every supply chain leader needs to hear in 2026: blanket messaging is dead. Hyper-focused, AI-assisted, audience-specific outreach is the only way forward.
