The Purpose and History of Our Annual Conference:

The Center for Supply Chain Excellence hosts a yearly conference that focuses on practical and timely topics related to supply chain management. The format typically includes an afternoon panel session, dinner, and features an out-of-town SCM related speaker. A special invitation is extended to alumni and to partner firms who hire our students, employ interns, or participate in professional development programs. Undergraduate students in SCM are encouraged to participate in this event as a way to make contacts for internships and jobs.

Nadja Piatka, Founder and President of Nadjafoods, Inc. was our featured speaker in 2003.
