2017 MHI Annual Conference Educational Opportunities- Part 2
At the MHI Annual Conference, one of our goals is for you to walk away better than you came, and part of that means getting educated. We want to give you information and skills that you can take back to your company and help push supply chain forward.
Since there is a ton of educational opportunities we’re offering, we’ve split it up into two posts: the stuff on Monday and the stuff on Tuesday. You can find the Monday Edition post here, and here is part two: Tuesday.
As before, there are two options, each day, for every time slot. Choices are the key to getting a great personalized experience.
