DAYTON, Ohio (January 29, 2019) – The Dayton Area Logistics Association (DALA), a program of the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce, is proud to announce this year’s Southwest Ohio Logistics Conference will feature a speaker from the nation’s leader in ecommerce, Amazon.

At this year’s Southwest Ohio Logistics Conference, DALA will welcome Jane Tschanen, General Manager of Amazon’s Dayton/Monroe fulfillment center, as its keynote speaker on February 6, 2019 at the Sinclair Conference Center. Tschanen will provide insight specific to Amazon’s logistical approach and lessons that have led to the company’s success, including the significance of the Dayton/Monroe facility.
