Disclaimer
- The 1st International Conference on Supply Chain Management is a multidisciplinary forum that welcomes research and perspectives from adjacent fields including operations research, industrial engineering, business administration, environmental studies, and information systems — submissions need not be limited to a narrow definition of supply chain management.
- Successful registration and payment of conference fees constitute confirmation of attendance intent; however, the organizing committee reserves the right to make changes to the programme, venue arrangements, or scheduling, and registered attendees will be notified promptly of any material alterations affecting their participation.
- The conference programme comprises multiple concurrent and plenary sessions across the event days, and while all registered delegates are encouraged to engage broadly with the schedule, attendance at every individual session cannot be guaranteed or enforced due to capacity considerations and the parallel structure of the programme.
