The mini-conference will continue in its tradition of connecting industry experts and academics to explore emerging issues critical to supply chain practice, teaching, and research. This year's theme is "Managing Supply Chains in Turbulent Times".

Monday afternoon's activities will begin with a tour of Disney's world class warehouse facility followed by dinner at the Atlantic Dance Hall on the Disney Boardwalk. The conference will continue on Tuesday with a keynote address by Yossi Sheffi, MIT professor and director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, followed by a series of interactive industry panels examining how recent economic and regulatory changes are (or should be) impacting the way supply chains are managed. Panelists include executives from Scholastics Book Fair Inc., Proctor & Gamble, Chico's Inc., Watsco, Jacksonville Port Authority, and NASA. See the preliminary schedule for more information.
