ISM is committed to supporting diverse professionals in the supply chain. Join us for learning and networking that improves your business acumen, builds your personal brand and leverages unique skills. Discover tactics to lean in to your career and not hold yourself back. Use the unparalleled networking time to link out to new connections that can help you spur career growth. Whether you are just starting out or you have been working in supply chain for years, this is a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded peers.
Choose the track that resonates with you or represents the suppliers you work with on a regular basis.
The general sessions and concurrent track sessions are packed with useful advice you can apply when you get back to the office to boost your supply chain career. Make sure to take advantage of the strategies shared by leadership strategist, Leslie Grossman, who is the author of Link Out: How to Turn Your Network into a Chain of Lasting Connections. Don't miss the executive roundtable networking session, an annual favorite, where you can meet and ask questions of top supply chain leaders.
Although we have developed three programs focused on each group, you are welcome to attend concurrent sessions from any track.
Professionals from all industries and organizations who work in the areas listed below, especially those who have or may be considering suppliers primarily owned and operated by blacks, Hispanics, Latinos or women. Everyone with a passion for procurement and supply chain management who values a diverse workforce and supplier base is invited to attend.
