SHANGHAI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--APICS, the premier professional association for supply chain management, is once again hosting a regional conference in Shanghai, China in 2016. APICS 2016 Shanghai will run April 14 thru 15, 2016. During that time, supply chain, logistics, and operations management professionals will gain global perspectives guaranteed to help them take advantage of opportunities in today’s complex world marketplace. APICS 2016 Shanghai brings together over 100 industry thought leaders for two days of discussion, learning and networking. The conference offers insights into how global companies known for supply chain innovation are achieving corporate competitiveness.
Simultaneous translation will be offered as a new feature this year. Additionally, conference attendees can earn up to 16 certification maintenance points toward the maintenance of APICS CPIM and CSCP designations.
APICS 2016 Shanghai World Café
A variety of APICS forums have explored how traditional supply chains can be used to deliver essential food, medicine, and supplies to people in need. At the APICS 2016 World Cafe, participants will stretch further to examine how, with professional and personal commitment, supply chains themselves can improve lives around the world.
The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), of which APICS is a signatory, works with businesses to create a sustainable and inclusive global economy that delivers lasting benefits to all people, communities, and markets. Participants will have the opportunity to apply and adapt that theme at the APICS 2016 World Cafe. In this unique, interactive environment, attendees together will delve into the global responsibilities of corporations, supply chain professionals, and consumers.
