SCSC is the result of years of planning, participating in, and promoting supply chain industry events from facility tours, to panel discussions with plated dinners, to conferences and networking happy hours.  The common thread through them all is that magic happens when people connect.  The second common thread was that they take a lot of time and energy to plan and execute, and even to participate in.  When Covid hit, all these events went virtual out of necessity with some liking it, and some longing for in-person events to return.  SCSC is the realization that virtual networking is incredibly efficient to plan and to participate in, connects people nearly as effectively as traditional events, and even in the absence of a global pandemic, there are countless people and organizations that can benefit from a networking solution that is time, energy, and cost efficient.

LinkedIn is the current go-to for finding and connecting to a target audience, we use it to!  But it’s tough to truly connect with others through a series of messages like a 1990’s era email pen-pal.  With SCSC you can skip to the good part and connect face-to-face. Digitally.

Other traditional industry associations and media outlets share news, publish data, host big conferences, sell courses that lead to certifications, and other serious stuff.  We don’t repost news, do industry research, sell courses, or take ourselves too seriously, as a rule.  We’re here for the fun.

We leverage the Remo virtual meeting platform to recreate the type of networking scene you typically experience at in-person events.  Saying Remo is like Zoom is like saying Microsoft Excel is like a sheet of graph paper.  Remo has a presentation mode that is similar to the ubiquitous Zoom meeting, but the similarities end end when we engage networking mode in Remo.  While there may be 100 people at an event, you only interact with 3-5 at time or how ever many happen to be at the table or sitting area you move yourself to.

Initially we will host general audience events where you can find anyone and everyone who touches the supply chain industry from execs and consultant to students and others early in their careers, to academic researchers, government agencies, consultants, entrepreneurs, sales and marketing, operations, recruiting in areas spanning from 3PL, manufacturing, transportation and warehousing.  As we grow our community we’ll begin to host specialized events that target various groups like college students, transportation focused stakeholders, marketing and creatives, consultants, entrepreneurs and the list goes on.

Definitely!  We don’t only strive to offer the most economical pricing for guests, we also want to make sponsoring and advertising accessible for companies and organizations.  Since we are mostly a networking community, we don’t allow long presentations that put everyone to sleep, but we believe that everyone can learn and benefit from quick marketing presentations.

Where’s the after-party you ask?  It’s on our private LinkedIn group.  Each attendee of an SCSC event will get an invitation to join the group.
