This event has grown in stature to become the leading event in Africa for Supply Chain Professionals. Annually, professionals with a passion for supply chain management meet at the SAPICS Conference to discuss topics and explore resources relevant to the supply chain profession and benefit from valuable networking opportunities. On the African continent, SAPICS - your supply chain network was founded in South Africa in 1966 - has forged strong associations with like-minded companies and organisations to create a network of supply chain professionals which is ever expanding. As APICS’ exclusive education Premier Channel Partner in Sub Saharan Africa, SAPICS continually strives to develop a strong footprint in this region. SAPICS’ Association with SCNext ensures that a strong emphasis is placed on the development of the youth – our future supply chain professionals. Relations with the Institute of Business Forecasting, FAPICS, Demand Driven Institute and others enables SAPICS to recommend superior education and learning tools to develop the individuals in the profession. In collaboration with all our partners, SAPICS is committed to building a vibrant community of educated and well connected supply chain professionals throughout Africa and the world.

What doesn’t work? This is real, practical professional development in action, get in on that action! • Individual interaction with professional experts • Face to Face knowledge exchange • Fully integrate with your professional community • Share experiences and expertise with other supply chain professionals • Outstanding “take home” value - Use the conference as a springboard towards future ideas tailored to the needs of you and your company • Share with others your thoughts, experiences, etc. Conferences are not just for taking. They are also excellent opportunities for giving back to the profession. • Network, network, network • Collect actionable tips, statistics and other useful information to share with your team and clients. Where there is more than one attendee from an organisation this multiplies the value that can be derived. • Through networking with other professionals and vendors in the industry you are able to gauge the pulse of what is happening and find out what’s new in respect of tools, technologies, and processes. • Learn from a variety of “local is lekker” case studies, war stories and presentations alongside internationally renowned industry professionals sharing the latest global trends and strategies. I think any leader in supply chain management should attend SAPICS at least every 2nd year to stay in touch with developments, otherwise you’re left behind on any new developments.
