Disclaimer
- The 10th International Conference on Supply Chain Management embraces a deliberately multidisciplinary scope; submitted and presented works may draw from adjacent fields including industrial engineering, economics, information systems, environmental studies, and public policy, reflecting the inherently cross-functional nature of modern supply chain practice.
- Successful submission of an abstract or full paper does not in itself confirm attendance or secure a presentation slot; only delegates who have completed valid registration and whose participation has been formally acknowledged by the secretariat are considered confirmed attendees of the Vaughan 2026 program.
- The published conference schedule, including session times, room assignments, and speaker order, is subject to revision at the discretion of the organizing committee; registered attendees are responsible for monitoring official communications and the conference website to ensure they hold accurate and up-to-date session information.
