APICS International Conference and Expo 2012

The leading annual gathering of supply chain and operations management professionals worldwide

Declaring in advance that I have been a member and volunteer for  APICS for many years, I highly recommend this annual event to all supply chain, logistics, and operations management professionals. It is truly a unique learning opportunity, and I rank it as one of the premier educational conferences on the global circuit. I have attended it in past years, and found it to be a very worthwhile investment of time and money.
