Many of the sessions held at Conference this year fall within a number of topic-specific tracks — each chosen for their own particular relevance in our profession. If you have a specific interest in risk management, for example, this format makes it easy for you to plan your days so you'll get as much information on that area as possible. We recommend planning your sessions around the track(s) of interest to you and filling in with our selection of other general supply management topics.
