Disclaimer
- The 12th International Conference on Supply Chain Management is a multidisciplinary platform welcoming contributions from diverse fields including operations research, information systems, environmental studies, and public policy — any resemblance to a single-discipline or society-exclusive event is unintended and does not reflect the conference’s open, cross-sector mission.
- Completion of the registration process and receipt of a payment confirmation constitute attendance registration; however, physical attendance at the event is the sole responsibility of the registrant, and the organizing committee cannot be held liable for circumstances — including travel disruptions, visa delays, or health emergencies — that prevent participation.
- The conference program encompasses multiple concurrent sessions, workshops, and keynote addresses; registrants are free to attend any open session within their registered ticket category, though seating in specialized workshops may be subject to capacity limits and advance sign-up requirements.
