Disclaimer
- ICSCM 2027 is structured as a multidisciplinary forum that welcomes scholarly and professional contributions intersecting supply chain management with adjacent fields such as operations research, information systems, environmental sustainability, economics, and public policy—authors need not confine their work to a single discipline provided a clear connection to supply chain themes is established.
- Submission of an abstract or full paper to the conference does not constitute confirmed attendance; authors and delegates must complete formal registration and payment to secure their participation, and acceptance notifications should not be treated as a guarantee of a speaking slot until the final programme has been officially published.
- Registered attendees are encouraged to plan their schedules in advance using the published programme, as sessions run concurrently across multiple tracks and the conference organization cannot guarantee that any individual delegate will be able to attend every session of interest; priority access to keynote and plenary sessions is available to all badge-holding registrants on a first-come, first-seated basis.
