Claim 1: “The Supply Chain Risk & Resilience panel: Date: 8 September, Time: 12:15-13:00 BST, Location: Supply Chain Stage”

DISPUTED

The claim states the panel is on 8 September from 12:15-13:00 BST. However, a web search result from Procurement Magazine for the 'Supply Chain LIVE: The London Summit 2026' lists the 'Supply Chain Risk & Resilience' panel from 13:00 - 14:00 (BST), creating a conflict in timing.
