CHAINge Confrence

CHAINge 2026 is the flagship conference organized by the Association for Supply Chain Management, taking place on September 29–30, 2026 in Long Beach. The event brings together supply chain leaders focused on turning growing complexity into real competitive advantage.

In an environment shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, shifting trade policies, rising costs, rapid technological change, and increasing risk, supply chain management has become a core strategic capability. CHAINge 2026 focuses on how organizations can move from reacting to disruption toward building resilience, adaptability, and execution excellence.

Attendees will benefit from keynote sessions, expert-led discussions, hands-on workshops, and high-value networking opportunities. APICS-certified professionals can also earn maintenance points through participation.

The programme is built around four key themes:

• Global Trade – navigating shifts in international trade and their business impact
• Technology & Fundamentals – balancing innovation with operational excellence
• Resilience & Risk – designing flexible and disruption-ready supply chains
• Talent & Leadership – developing capabilities and leadership for the future

Featured speakers include industry leaders such as executives from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, along with global trade and strategy experts.

CHAINge 2026 is more than a conference—it is a platform for knowledge exchange, peer-to-peer learning, and practical transformation. Participants leave equipped with strategies, tools, and connections to build future-ready supply chains and strengthen organizational performance.
