The conference program features plenary panels and interactive educational workshops to encourage discourse among participants, innovative research poster sessions, and ample time for networking, facility tours, and other activities. Ideas will be shared around emerging themes such as market mechanisms for food assistance, the vaccination supply chain in global public health, infrastructure needs for coordination and collaboration and end-to-end supply chain strategy.
