Supply chain scholars, students, practitioners and policymakers will present a record number of over 140 papers at the summit this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to these presentations, the conference will feature three keynote speakers, a journal editors panel, a women\u2019s panel, a session on the Ghana Logistics Managers Index, the PhD Dissertation Awards competition, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
