The professional society for supply chain management, Sapics, is hosting its 28th annual conference and exhibition at Sun City from 4 to 7 July.

Sapics is a membership-based association that aims to advance people and organisations in the supply chain field through educational programmes, events and conferences.

The conference will tackle the evolution and technology trends of supply chain management in various verticals, such as transport, mining, retail, wholesale, motoring, energy and manufacturing.

Ten ICT companies will attend the event, and "more ICT companies are being approached to get involved in next year's conference," says Sapics marketing manager, Chris Visser.

Next year's theme will be supply chain vitality. "A vital supply chain creates a strong and successful infrastructure. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the consistent delivery of services and products ultimately creating a vital supply chain.

"The conference is designed to offer practical and relevant information to delegates by providing them with excellent educational presentations, case studies and workshops," says Visser.

Sponsors include Siemens, Telkom Business, UTi, i-volition and Tech-pro-personnel.
