Rutgers SCAI Annual Conference 2026
Intelligent Resilience: AI-Powered Supply Chains for a Volatile World
Supply chain leaders are operating in an environment defined by disruption, uncertainty, and rising expectations. Geopolitical shifts, economic volatility, evolving customer demands, and rapid advances in AI are forcing organizations to rethink how decisions are made across the supply chain. The organizations pulling ahead are not simply adopting new technologies—they are building intelligent, resilient supply chains that can anticipate change, respond faster, and drive measurable business outcomes.
The Rutgers Supply Chain Analytics Institute Annual Conference 2026 brings together industry leaders, practitioners, researchers, and technology experts to explore how AI, analytics, and digital innovation are reshaping supply chain performance. Presented in collaboration with Bristlecone and Rutgers Business School, this two-day conference provides a forum for practical discussions, real-world experiences, and forward-looking perspectives on the future of supply chain transformation.
