On Friday and Saturday, February 19th and 20th, San Fernando Valley Chapter will  host the 10th Annual APICS Student Case Competition in Burbank, CA at the Holiday Inn Hotel. Please  help us welcome these college students from all over the West Coast and Southwestern United States along with teams from Canada and China who are studying Supply Chain and Operations/Business at their schools.

This year the competition will include 25 teams of graduates and undergraduates presenting their solutions to a real world Supply Chain challenge.

If you haven’t attended one of these competitions before, you are in for a real treat. You will be amazed at how well these student are able to apply what they have learned in school to real world situations, and you will be pleasantly surprised at the quality of their presentations.

Come, Saturday to hear the Final 4 teams present their cases to the judges, and if you have time, join us Friday evening to witness all of the presentations. Either way the students will appreciate the opportunity to network with real operations and supply chain professionals. And, you might even find a job for one of them.

We need your help and show of support to welcome these students to the San Fernando Valley.
