Sponsorship

Call for Sponsors

The Purchasing Management Association of Canada and the McMaster eBusiness Research Centre (MeRC) of the DeGroote School of Business invite your participation in the Seventh Annual International Symposium on Supply Chain Management as a sponsor. Our theme for 2009 is “Managing Global Supply Chain Networks in Uncertain Times”.

This symposium will attract a targeted group of approximately 100 practitioners and academics from around the world who are actively involved in research or implementation of supply chain management practices. It is an excellent forum for networking and a unique opportunity to bring your company’s name and services before a select business and academic audience whose procurement decisions and research represent major investments in purchases of goods and services each year.

The speaker guidelines prohibit commercial sales presentations during the academic and practitioner presentation sessions. Sponsorship opportunities will meet the needs of those organizations who would like to present their corporate message in a planned and welcome forum.
