SAPICS Announces “Innovation In Motion” Theme For 2025 Conference
The annual SAPICS Conference, Africa’s leading event for the supply chain profession, will be held from 8 to 11 June 2025 in Cape Town under the theme “Innovation in Motion”, supply chain industry body SAPICS has announced.
Now in its 47th year, the SAPICS Conference enables supply chain managers to learn, network and share knowledge, which is increasingly important for this vital profession in today’s volatile and uncertain environment. More than 750 supply chain managers from 30 countries across Africa and around the world attended this year’s SAPICS Conference in June 2024.
The 2025 theme, Innovation in Motion, conveys the imperative for organisations to innovate and strive for the agility and adaptability needed to rapidly respond to potentially chaotic changes and disruptions in today’s turbulent supply chain landscape. “In the face of continuous technological advances, shifting global dynamics and the relentless pursuit of seamless efficiency, customer satisfaction and sustainability, one thing is clear: innovation is a necessity for supply chain managers,” stresses SAPICS president MJ Schoemaker CSCP CPF .
“Adaptability and innovation are the keys to success in supply chains today. Whether this means leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation, accelerating sustainability or rethinking traditional supply chain models, the need to innovate is more critical than ever. This year’s theme,?Innovation in Motion, encapsulates the dynamic and forward-thinking approach that today’s supply chain professionals must adopt to stay ahead,” she states.?
“Innovation in Motion?isn't just a theme—it is a call to action. It is about keeping pace with change, continuously improving and ensuring that your supply chains,?across?all industries and?sectors,?are?not only resilient and innovative, but also?drivers?of competitive advantage. The SAPICS Conference aims to equip delegates with all the knowledge, strategies, tools and techniques needed to do this.”
SAPICS 2025 will bring together industry experts, thought leaders and professionals from around the world and across the supply chain spectrum, to share their insights and expertise in compelling presentations, panel discussions and practical workshops. “Attendees can expect to learn from the brightest minds and the most influential voices in supply chain management as they explore the trends, technologies and strategies that are driving the future of the supply chain management profession,” says Schoemaker. “This is a not to be missed event for supply chain practitioners at all levels. Whether you are a chief supply chain officer or an experienced, senior supply chain manager,?a supplier to the industry or someone who is simply eager to learn and grow, this is your opportunity to be at the forefront of our profession.”?
