Just like that, our  ISM-CV Spring Conference is in the rear view mirror.  What a terrific two days of insight, collaboration and forward thinking supply chain leadership!  I appreciate each and every one of you who were in attendance.  My overwhelming take away from the conference is how much value there is in our In-Person Events.  I have so much hope for the future of our profession from speaking with and listening to the students and emerging professionals who were there.  I also find great value in reconnecting with colleagues I have now known for years, catching up and celebrating recent accomplishments.

It was a whirlwind of excellent speakers and presentations:

Keynote from Co-founder of Arkestro, Edmund Zagorin
Tour of Industries for the Blind
Student Case Competition Showcase
ISM-CV Annual Awards
Thought leadership sessions on supply chain finance, leveraging INCOTERMS to mitigate risk and cost volatility, and storytelling through data analytics
Table Talk networking session
Professional Headshot Photo booth for your LinkedIn profile

Thank you again for your participation and I look forward to seeing you at the next event!
