The Buzz is Supply Chain Now’s regular Monday livestream, held at 12 noon ET each week. This show focuses on some of the leading stories from global supply chain and global business, always with special guests – the most important of which is the live audience!

In this week's episode of The Buzz, hosts Scott Luton and Mary Kate Love welcomed Dan White with Venture 53, Venture 53's first Field Day winners, Reade Kidd with EDRAY, and Beth Flippo with Drone Express. Together they discuss the recent Venture 53 Field Day event in Atlanta, along with:

• And so much more!
