This two-day symposium will outline recent research on critical supply chain issues and discuss solutions adopted by industry leaders. The focus this year will be on supply chain integration and the role of leadership, trust and negotiation.

In addition to presentations of peer-reviewed academic papers and practitioner presentations, the program will include keynote addresses by leaders in the field, concurrent sessions on the latest in supply chain research and applications and stimulating panel discussions by experts in the field. As with previous events, selected papers will be published in special journal issues. 

Experience with previous symposia have been highly successful, resulting in an enthusiastic reception by participants. We intend to re-create this atmosphere with this sixth annual event.
