Conference

POMS Chapter for the Caribbean and Latin America + MIT–SCALE Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean = one major conference for the region

We are excited to announce that the MIT–SCALE Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) will merge with the 2023 POMS LAC Conference! The event will be hosted by a consortium consisting of LOGYCA, Universidad Tecnologica de Bolivar, and Universidad del Norte on March 16–19, 2024. It will be a hybrid virtual/in-person event. Join us in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, or from anywhere in the world! Review presentations from top academics and practitioners, who are developing high-impact research projects for the region and participate in keynote plenary sessions and networking events.

This gathering provides a vital forum for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, NGOs, and other participants from LAC or working with the region to share high-impact research and educational approaches surrounding the topics of production, operations management, and supply chain management. 

The goal of this partnership is to drive cutting-edge research, education, and outreach that embrace socioeconomic, logistics, and supply chain challenges in the context of LAC by developing and disseminating innovative strategies to address and to solve those challenges within the region.

Our annual SCALE student Expo previews nearly 100 industry-sponsored research projects conducted by supply chain students at MIT CTL and the international centers in the global Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence (SCALE) network. The Expo showcases this research-in-progress on a broad range of future-forward topics and provides an exclusive glimpse at what the final findings will reveal in May.

In this MIT SCALE-wide panel, the directors of the five network centers worldwide will discuss the mounting challenges of Covid-19 disruptions and share their views and experiences on the evolution of global supply chains, while addressing questions such as: Is it time to shore-up and shorten supply chains? Are global supply chains decoupling? Is this the end of lean and start of just-in-case? Register on Zoom

The MIT Global Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence (SCALE) Network Research Expo provides a unique opportunity to preview ~100 supply chain research projects conducted by MIT SCALE graduate students in partnership with project-sponsor companies and MIT SCALE researchers. The Expo offers a glimpse of what the students' research will reveal in May-June when final projects are presented. Research Expo 2022 is fully online. Review project materials, comment and vote for best project presentations, between January 20-27, 2022.

ZLC will participate in the next edition of SIL Barcelona as speakers and exhibitors within the Aragón Logistics Platform. 

This (virtual) gathering provides a vital forum for researchers and students in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) to share in high-impact research and educational approaches within logistics and supply chain management. 

ZLC is collaborating with Alcott Global as media partner to organize this virtual summit on a hot topic of the moment: “Global Access and Distribution of Covid-19 Vaccine." Registered attendees will have on-demand access to recorded summit materials through February 25. Learn more and register...
