Global Supply Chain Institute
Supply Chain Forum
About
For over 25 years, the Supply Chain Forum has helped companies learn, network, and recruit. Held twice a year, the forum offers industry leaders the opportunity 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.
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. With hundreds of industry professionals from over 80 companies, the forum hosts a variety of presentations and breakout sessions focused on the most recent supply chain challenges and opportunities.
The SCF offers companies who attend the chance to adopt innovative practices, network with other leaders, and recruit world-class talent. Member-only benefits include the opportunity to facilitate engagement with our globally ranked global supply chain faculty and top SCM students, including Scholars of Distinction, CSCMP and NeXxus student leaders.
“Two areas where organizations routinely benefit from GSCI partnership are talent development opportunities, 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.”

“The speakers and content at the Supply Chain Forum are reason enough to return, but it’s the hands-on training, networking and practical, applicable learning and exercises that make the Forum truly pay off for me.”
