Convergence of Brilliance

Dear Readers,

As part of the supply chain and logistics community, we are seeing a plethora of events happening in the sector. Speakers and delegates are given away awards so that they attend the conference. More than 200 awards are given out in a single event in a particular region.

When our team at Supply Chain Tribe started deliberating over names for CSCO Awards, we were targeting to give away 20 such awards. However, as we started shortlisting names, our final Awardees were just 10, not 50, not 100, just 10. While there were a few who did not accept, however our first list did not go beyond 25. In the actual sense of the term, CSCOs are few and far between.

As publishers, we use our conferences to generate high-quality and meaningful discussions and explore innovative ideas. These conversations are then re-purposed to create articles for our monthly magazine. Therefore, we carefully crafted the Agenda to address the most pressing issues, success stories, and advancements across the value chain. With at least 3 to 4 events happening every month, we took the additional pains to ensure that we were not repeating speakers from other events.

Sponsors are also fatigued to see those same faces. I know with this note I may be rubbing many people the wrong way. However, it is our collective responsibility to not use conferences just for personal publicity. Delegates and attendees come for knowledge and learning, for networking, for building connections and fostering a sense of pride.

We will continue to work hard to find hidden gems, whether as award winners or speakers. We promise elevated discussions, which will help shape the future of supply chain management.
