About SCMID

The SMA Supply Chain Management & Industrial Distribution Symposium provides an opportunity for leading supply chain and distribution scholars and senior distribution executives to interact and discuss current and emerging trends and challenges in a relaxed and open environment.  The focus is to be low cost/non-profit option to other events and encourage group interaction leading to better research and practice. The Symposium features invited presentations by executives and scholars including competitive paper presentations by researchers in conjunction with the Supply Chain Management track of the Society of Marketing Advances Annual Conference. 

The goal is to stimulate greater dialog between academic and industry leaders and among various academic streams of research related to distribution (e.g., business to business marketing, supply chain management, marketing channels, logistics, and industrial distribution).
