The Global Supply Chain Council organizes a conference called CHaINA live. It will take place on 2 & 3 Nov. in Shanghai.

Several people I respect are either speakers or attendees. For example, my friend Andrew Reich from In Touch will be speaking on the best ways to manage and develop a Chinese factory.

If you attend this event, you will have the choice to focus on topics that are of interest to you. Here are some of these topics:

• Role of Quality in Supply Chain
• Global Sourcing & Procurement 2.0
• China’s structural shift in Global Supply Chain
• Indirect Procurement
• B2C eCommerce Logistics
• Retail Supply Chain
• Warehousing Best practices
• Distribution Network Optimization
• Sales & Operations Planning
• Lean Supply Chain
• Money Talk (even in SCM)
• Order Fulfillment
• Social Media & Supply Chain
• Supply Chain Fraud
• HR in Supply Chain
• Trade Compliance in the Supply Chain
• Sustainable Supply Chain
