Arrive early to CSCMP's 2010 Annual Global Conference in San Diego, California, USA, and take advantage of special educational offerings, which the council is premiering at the conference. CSCMP has modified its most popular workshops to create two one-day programs: "The 'New' Fundamentals" and "Strategic Supply Chain Issues."
"The 'New' Fundamentals" workshop will cover six key concerns affecting the supply chain today: security; sustainability; diversity; strategy; relationships; and health, safety, and ergonomics. For those who have already mastered the fundamentals, CSCMP is offering a more advanced "Strategic Supply Chain Issues" workshop. During this course, participants will delve into case studies and participate in exercises that will help them broaden their perspective as supply chain leaders.
Both sessions will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. the day before the conference officially begins.
