Program Content
Twice a year we ask our Membership what issues they are facing in managing and optimizing their supply chain structures. UT’s Forum faculty -- academic leaders in integrated supply chain management -- then brain storm to craft a meeting agenda that addresses these issues. Thought leaders and senior executives from a broad cross section of industries are invited to present their ideas and insights on these topics. Because our meeting format includes panel discussions, Sponsors have an opportunity to probe, challenge and offer feedback with an immediacy that often leads to unparalleled dialogue. This fusion of speakers from both industry and academia, coupled with Sponsor participation, makes for a dynamic meeting, rich with topical information that is both relevant and actionable.
