CSCMP annual conference runs Sept. 27–30

The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) will hold its 2015 annual conference from Sept. 27 to 30 at the San Diego Convention Center.

The educational conference bills itself as a chance to learn from industry experts, hear dynamic speakers, and network with influential leaders. And one look at the list of speakers proves that point: This year's featured speakers include Howard Schultz, Starbucks' chairman, president, and CEO; and Dave Clark, Amazon.com's senior vice president of worldwide operations and customer service.

After hearing from those logistics luminaries, attendees can attend educational sessions designed to broaden their knowledge of supply chain management. Participants can choose sessions from the following five categories:

• Economic forecasts, benchmarks, and surveys, whose tracks include 2015 supply chain innovations of the year, collaborative research in action, and current research and surveys
• Leadership, talent, and career, whose tracks include leadership at the C-level and the new supply chain professional
• Manufacturing, planning, and sourcing, whose tracks include manufacturing and operations; planning, forecasting, and inventory management; and sourcing and supplier management
• Supply chain solutions and practice, whose tracks include industry verticals, a sponsor presentation series, and a supply chain exchange
• Transportation, distribution, and warehousing, whose tracks include transportation and warehousing/distribution.
