Description

The health and safety of our members is the UWEBC’s top priority. UW–Madison is monitoring the COVID-19 situation in collaboration with local, state and federal agencies. Based on campus' guidance, this meeting will be held via web only to allow our members a convenient and safe way to attend.

From work from home to demand planning to transportation crunches to staffing and recruitment issues, the past year has been a tough one for supply chain professionals. In this meeting we will hear from member companies and how they have reacted to these challenges as well as have the opportunity to join breakout discussions to talk about the topics you are specifically interested in.

Participate in Customizing the Agenda: You’ll have the opportunity to play an active part in shaping the agenda for this session – and to maximize its relevance for you – by suggesting and selecting topics for break-out discussions. Once the agenda is complete, you choose the discussions you want to join. This will be a highly interactive session so come prepared to share your questions, challenges and insights!
