Global Supply Chain Excellence Summit

August 3-6, 2019

 

Who should attend?

 

Our training program is designed for international executives and managers leading procurement, sourcing, manufacturing, transportation, distribution, and retail sectors of the global supply chain.

You will find no two-hour lectures on the agenda. Instead, you will find concise, engaging TED-style talks; thought-provoking panels with experts in vertical markets and supply chain competencies; and high-impact, straight-to-the-point presentations on the most crucial issues facing our profession. The Summit is supplemented by programs before and after the main event, which provide additional opportunities for networking, training, and exposure to cutting-edge supply chain innovations in the practice.

 

 

The supply chains of North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America meet in Los Angeles. And every year, the leading professionals in supply chain management converge at Southern California’s most prestigious research university to network, exchange ideas, and experience this extraordinary event. Don’t miss these high-level discussions on managing supply chains amidst globalization, innovation and digitalization.

In addition to the Summit, Business Delegations will have an opportunity to participate in a VIP reception and our International Executive Training Program, including four days of mixed workshop instruction and site visits to advanced industry facilities in the Los Angeles area.
