SUPPLY CHAIN CANADA

Supply Chain Canada is a non-profit association for supply chain professionals. With over a century of history, Supply Chain Canada exists to strengthen Canada’s supply chains by accrediting and training professionals, convening stakeholders to advance supply chain best practices, and advocating for the profession and SCMP designated professionals. 

EVENT DESCRIPTION

As the global economy continues to evolve, supply chain leaders are navigating a landscape shaped by economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, shifting trade dynamics, technological change, and evolving market conditions. For organizations across Canada, understanding these forces — and what they mean for the year ahead — is becoming increasingly important to strategic decision-making, operational planning, and long-term growth.

This exclusive dinner event at the Calgary Petroleum Club will open with an economist from National Bank, providing a broader perspective on the Canadian and global economic outlook and the key trends shaping the business environment. The conversation will then move from the forecast to the front lines, bringing together industry leaders from across the supply chain community to discuss what these economic trends actually mean for organizations. Panelists will share what they are seeing firsthand, how they are responding to current challenges, where they are finding opportunities, and what they are planning for the year ahead.
