A premier pan-African platform for academic and professional exchange

AISCR organizes annual pan-African supply chain conferences hosted in partnership with academic institutions where academic experts and researchers present findings from their latest work on the issues facing African supply chains.

These conferences create networking, career development, and educational opportunities for the wider supply chain management community. They also incorporate doctoral colloquia and educators' conversations that strengthen teaching and training across Africa and beyond.

The result is a flagship moment for evidence, visibility, and community-building — a place where research and practice can move forward together.
