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.

Traditional industry associations and media outlets share news, publish data, host big conferences, sell certification courses, and other serious stuff.  We don’t take ourselves too seriously, as a rule.  We’re here for the fun part: networking.

We leverage the Events.com virtual meeting platform (formerly called Remo) to recreate the type of networking scene you typically experience at in-person events.  While the interface has a presentation mode that is similar to the ubiquitous Zoom meeting, the similarities end when we engage networking mode which simulates a game-like interactive environment.  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 seat yourself at.

You will find anyone and everyone who touches the supply chain industry from founders, company leaders, and consultants to students and others early in their careers, to academic researchers, government agencies, sales and marketing, operations, and recruiting.  To make it easier to find your tribe, we have distinct events that focus on a particular areas of supply chain like transportation, warehousing, international trade, sourcing, or revenue generation.  Having these targeted events ensures attendees know the kind of conversations they will have and sponsors know their audience.

Definitely!  While our mission is to make networking accessible for attendees, we also want to make sponsoring accessible for companies and organizations.  Sponsors get promoted in the pre and post-event marketing and 5 mins to talk about their company during the event.
