Member organizations of the New England Collaborative have consistently received rave reviews for delivering seminars with superior value – “A great bang-for-the-buck!” Attendees agree that this seminar is remarkable for its professional breadth, originality and overall cost effectiveness. This year's program promises to be just as engaging as the record-setting 2013 conference, with six distinct learning tracks, two Keynote Speakers, and Exhibitor presentations covering a wide range of supply chain topics, emerging trends and solid solutions. This is a great way for professionals to leverage their time and spend precious training dollars wisely with a first class, LOCAL event.

Last year’s 2013 attendees were excited by the inclusion of several premiere tiered tracks, so we’ve continued our Basic, Intermediate, Advanced programs for some of the tracks. Attendees can leverage six new, 3-part professional development tracks, for a customized learning experience. Mix-n’-match from any or all of these bodies of knowledge to suit your professional needs! With the rapid pace of advancement in the field, it's even more important to keep up with what's new, and to network & benchmark with others in your profession!
