I am very excited about the upcoming Annual CSCMP Global Conference that's being held in Atlanta from Sunday, September 30th through Wednesday, October 3rd. This is one of the premiere supply chain conferences on the planet and is chock-full of educational sessions that span every supply chain topic imaginable.

• Key Supply Chain Skills
