Thank you for your interest!
The participants in the University of Tennessee’s Supply Chain Forum, known as Sponsors, are from large, mid-sized and small companies and represent a broad spectrum of industries including manufacturers, retailers and service providers. While they run the gamut from manager to CEO, our Sponsors all share a fervent desire to stay on the cutting edge of supply chain strategy and management.
“The Forum faculty’s approach to supply chain management is unique, in that it reflects the real world challenges of matching increasingly volatile global demand patterns with ever-changing sources of supply. This Demand-Supply Integration perspective represents the forefront of research in supply chain management and focuses on the complex problems firms face in today’s global environment.”

"The Supply Chain Forum gives us unparalleled opportunities to network with and learn best practices from peer organizations, have access to accomplished graduates, and have priority access to research that can positively impact our company’s bottom line. UT recognizes the synergistic value of integrating supply chain concepts with customer value in achieving a competitive advantage. I highly recommend the forum for the tangible, financial benefits that it can provide."

"We are in a very competitive market today for the best supply chain talent. With the forum, you can not only recruit top talent to your team, but you also have a nice retention tool for your current employees with this investment in continued skill development and education. It's a nominal investment for the goodwill and cross-industry supply chain ideas that you are exposed to. We have gotten very positive feedback from the folks on our Dell team that have attended the Forum."
