Green Supply Chain Forum 2008

Green Supply Chain Forum

Thursday, February 7, 2008

There are many reasons why companies ranging from global powerhouse IBM to your local mom and pop shop are "greening" their supply chain.  Green supply chains can be more efficient, more agile, and lower cost.  The reduced contribution to global climate change is an extra bonus.

Florida International University’s Ryder Center for Supply Chain Management and the Institute for Technology and Innovation at FIU’s Pino Center will host a 1-Day Green Supply Chain Forum on February 7, 2008 in Miami, Florida.

This forum will bring together some of the world's leading green supply chain experts from academia, government, and a variety of business sectors to share best practices and discuss opportunities for future collaboration.  A series of panels and lectures will present the state of the art and its application across the supply chain.

Target attendees include corporate representatives interested in implementing environmentally sound solutions for their company’s operations, student representatives in environmental, engineering, supply chain and logistics studies, and the government community interested in policies for front-line green supply chain practices.

Speakers include re-known thought leaders in the following areas:

• Corporate practitioners
• Government
• Consulting
• Academia
