Supply Chain Monthly
Current News
  
CSCMP and AGiLE, publisher of the publication, partnered to reimagine the Quarterly to better serve and engage its loyal readership in the end-to-end supply chain industry. The rebranded publication will now publish six times a year, kicking off its January/February print and digital issue this month.
 
The restyled publication, newly named Supply Chain Xchange, will have a fresh, contemporary look that captivates readers—a diverse audience of industry professionals and decision-makers. Advertisers will continue to reach a broad, engaged audience eager to stay current on the latest trends and innovations in supply chain management.
 
AGiLE Business Media & Events CEO Gary Master shared his enthusiasm for the rebrand, "In our quest to redefine CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly, we embarked on a transformative journey that transcends the boundaries of a conventional magazine. Our purpose is nothing short of making the world a better place, one supply chain at a time."
 
The publication's commitment remains unwavering: to curate thought-leading content in collaboration with industry experts from around the globe. "We envision Supply Chain Xchange as a leading source of supply chain strategy and innovation-based information while also creating an interactive platform for supply chain leaders to exchange insights, build networks, and embark on a continuous learning journey," said CSCMP President and CEO Mark Baxa.
 
Founder of CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly, Mitch MacDonald, noted, "As the role and prominence of supply chain professionals have changed and expanded over the past 15 years, so too has our brand. As the official publication of CSCMP, Supply Chain Xchange and the award-winning team behind it are reflections of that change and expansion. What remains unchanged is the ongoing commitment to provide our readers with the highest-value, actionable content in the market."
 
The new look expands a host of opportunities for CSCMP and the publication. In addition to six issues of Supply Chain Xchange, the publication will introduce a daily stream of fresh content through the rebranded website, webcasts, events, podcasts, local gatherings, and ask-the-expert panels on the move. More than just a publication; this is a new horizon that aims to be a true gathering place where we'll learn from each other, whether it's through the printed page, social media, digital platforms, or in person.

"I joined CSCMP in April 2019. I was studying for my second Master's degree in Spain, and I was looking for a platform for collaboration, learning, and career advancement within the supply chain management field.
 
My advice is to participate and benefit from the multiple opportunities CSCMP offers for networking, access to industry resources, professional development, and staying updated on the latest trends and advancements in supply chain management. I cannot choose only one. I have created multiple relationships with attendees at events in Spain, Florida, Ohio, and California.

CSCMP Center for Advancement of Talent & Training (CATT)
In April 2022, CSCMP and the CSCMP Ukraine Roundtable established the CSCMP Talent Center (recently renamed CSCMP's Center for Advancement of Talent & Training or CATT) Ukraine Logistics Operations Relief Fund to support the collection and distribution of medical and food relief to the millions of people affected by the war in Ukraine. The CSCMP Ukraine Roundtable is made up of supply chain professionals who invest their volunteer time in promoting and delivering educational events. With the war in Ukraine, they turned to serving the needs of people by collaborating with pre-qualified logistics service providers delivering food, clothing, and medicine.

We stand with our CSCMP Roundtable community in Ukraine, our members, friends, and colleagues and support their right to live peacefully in a sovereign, free country without the threat of coercion. The CSCMP Ukraine Logistics Operations Relief Fund remains open for ongoing tax-deductible contributions to support the logistics relief operations in war-ravaged Ukraine. Contribute to the fund today.
