We bring the world to you
By attending the 36th annual SAPICS Conference & Exhibition you can become part of a global network of supply chain professionals who are committed to knowledge sharing; without the expense and time investment involved in international travel.
Over 1 000 supply chain professionals meet in one place at the same time – the networking opportunities are exceptional!
How resilient is your supply chain?
Economic pressures are adding to supply chain vulnerability, making companies more prone to disruptions that can damage profitability, shareholder value, and reputation. Proactively building resilience into supply chains will make it a lot easier for projects and programmes to get back on track when problems arise.
The 36th annual SAPICS Conference & Exhibition will provide delegates with the opportunity to discuss topics around supply chain resilience. By sharing your professional experiences with your peers you will contribute to an exceptionally valuable programme packed with presentations by both local and international supply chain management experts.
Running alongside the conference programme is an exhibition of over 50 different companies sharing insights and demonstrations of progressive technology and supply chain best practices and solutions.
