USMA 2022 The Road Ahead May 22 – 25, 2022 Austin, Texas
This conference is committed to providing an educational-based platform designed to give concrete practices attendees can apply to supply management.
“The challenges that utilities and the electrical industry face right now have been described as unprecedented. The need to connect and learn from peers and partners is more essential than ever.”
From the President of USMA:
Do the words “supply chain disruption” mean anything to you?
You are not alone! The challenges that utilities and the electrical industry face right now have been described as unprecedented. The need to connect and learn from peers and partners is more essential than ever.
That is why USMA will be On the Road Again May 22 – 25, 2022, in Austin, TX, where supply chain executives and leaders from across the country will convene to take advantage of USMA’s world-class professional development and industry networking opportunities designed specifically for supply chain professionals.
