BRISTLECONE PULSE AT MIT
Monday, September 9 – Wednesday, September 11, 2019
Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Bristlecone Pulse at MIT is the world’s premier supply chain conference. Every year, people with diverse experiences and skillsets, from industry and academia, converge on the MIT campus in Cambridge to be part of the community shaping the future of supply chains.
Hear about supply chain innovation from the industry’s best and brightest. Connect with your peers and be inspired by their stories as they work on the front lines of supply chain management. Get in on the antifragility conversation and learn how to chart your course.
Over the past four years, Bristlecone Pulse has earned its place as the best conference in the industry. The fifth annual conference is looking to be bigger and better than ever.
