The 2025 calendar is already packed with supply chain industry conferences, including mainstays like Manifest and TPM 2025.
While each conference will feature different focuses, one common theme is how to foster supply chain resilience in a tumultuous environment, whether for logistics management, warehouse improvement or talent recruitment.
As the industry navigates the impact of labor tensions, natural disasters and international trade relations, the knowledge gained and connections formed at conferences can lead to more effective mitigation strategies.
To help you plan for the upcoming year, Supply Chain Dive compiled a list of the top supply chain conferences in 2025. We’ll be updating this list in January and June as additional details emerge, so be sure to check back for next year’s key industry events.
