Forum
The Supply Chain Forum has helped companies learn, network, and recruit for over 25 years. Held twice a year, the forum offers the opportunity for industry leaders to network with their peers, meet students and young supply chain professionals, benchmark with other practitioners, and learn about impactful research and innovation in the field of supply chain management from GSCI’s top faculty and industry partners.
“Two areas where WestRock routinely benefits from its GSCI partnership are talent development opportunities that touch our entire team, along with meaningful learning and networking experiences for leaders across our supply chain. The experience of meeting students early in their development and getting the chance to influence their growth and development as they prepare to enter the workforce is very rewarding.”
– Peter Anderson, Chief Supply Chain Officer, WestRock
The Supply Chain Forum is one of many partnership opportunities at the Global Supply Chain Institute and is an excellent way for companies to be introduced to GSCI.

The SCF offers companies who attend the chance to adopt innovative practices, network with other leaders, and recruit world-class talent.
