Disclaimer
- The 11th International Conference on Supply Chain Management is a multidisciplinary forum that welcomes contributions from adjacent fields including operations research, business strategy, data science, sustainability studies, and public policy — the conference title reflects its primary thematic focus rather than a restriction on the scope of accepted submissions.
- Submission of a paper or completion of the registration process does not in itself confirm attendance at the conference; participation is considered confirmed only upon receipt of full payment of the applicable registration fee and issuance of an official confirmation notice from the organizing committee.
- The conference program encompasses a rich variety of parallel sessions, workshops, and keynote addresses across multiple tracks; registered attendees are welcome to join any open session within the schedule, though the organizers reserve the right to manage room capacity and may occasionally restrict access to specialized workshops that require separate sign-up.
