SMI2U webinars allow SMI members to learn from “real world” experts within the SMI community. Each webinar is customized toward specific audiences – including executives, management, and supply chain professionals – depending upon the topic. SMI members are also encouraged to extend SMI2U webinar participation to their colleagues and other members of their management team so they too can take advantage of this opportunity to learn from “real world” experts. All SMI members receive email invitations to participate.
