Why Attend?
Attend the conference and learn how some of the world’s leading businesses developed and implemented innovative supply chain strategies — some with the help of the Supply–Chain Operations Reference model (SCOR®)— that have enabled them to substantially out–execute their competitors and achieve strong financial results year over year.
Take advantage of three content-rich educational tracks designed to help you:
- Identify, measure, manage and mitigate supply chain risk
- Understand performance and benchmarking against the competition
- Think about globalization in a new way
Common tools for many of the companies presenting are the SCOR, DCOR and CCOR process reference models. Today, hundreds of organizations are reaping the benefits of using the SCOR methodology, diagnostic and benchmarking tools to define supply chain needs, align processes with practices, and excel at supply chain execution. The conference will also feature opportunities for attendees to increase their understanding of and proficiency with SCOR as a foundation for achieving supply chain excellence.

Conference Educational Tracks
The Supply–Chain Council European Conference will address critical areas of supply chain management through three concurrent tracks:
Embracing Risk & Taking it to the Bottom Line
Supply chain disruptions are now far too frequent and are proven to result in unprecedented drops in corporate valuation, profitability and even market leadership. In this track we examine case studies from leading companies who are using the latest measures and methods to mitigate risk and build sustainability across the supply chain. The new SCOR 9.0 Risk Metrics and Best Practices will also be introduced providing an immediate applied take-away.
Performance Management in a Turbulent World
Moving from measurement to management is deceptively simple. Companies in this track share their secrets on taking the discipline of Performance Management to new heights. SCOR Benchmarking techniques are examined and attendees will learn how to build a competitive SCORcard quickly and easily; and, how to gain valuable information on their position against the competition without spending a fortune.
Globalization Demands Process Excellence
Companies that have made the move to global sourcing/off-shoring are now taking a pause, examining the results, and even re-thinking this shift to low cost countries. Trends are driving supply chain professionals to “think twice” and, for some, even reverse their decisions and move to more localized/regional models. Globalization will be observed in different industries and different situations, to see if there is a bottom line for success.

Travel/Hotel
Travel
Budapest — capital of Hungary, and often called the "Paris of the East", the "Pearl of the Danube" or the "Queen of the Danube" — has its own distinctive character and attractions: old world charm and modern lifestyle; magnificent architecture; grand coffee houses and trendy cafés; classical music in the Opera House and the latest hits in glitzy nightclubs; shiny new shopping malls and little antique shops; and the Danube with 9 splendid bridges and 3 islands.
The Danube River provides striking vistas as it bisects the two city parts, Buda and Pest. Covering an area of 200 square miles, with a population of 1.8 million, the ideal size of the Hungarian capital allows you to explore its major attractions on foot or public transportation.
Visit the following tourist sites for more information on city sightseeing, restaurants, and other travel details:
Airport
Budapest (Ferihegy) International Airport is ten miles south–east of the city centre. The airport’s central telephone number for information is (+36–1) 296–9696, and flight information is available on (+36–1) 296–7000.
The main car hire firms have offices in the arrivals halls. For those not driving, the Airport Minibus will carry passengers to and from any part of Budapest. It can be booked on (+36–1) 296–8555 or in person at the airport.
Rail
More than fifty trains a day provide direct links between Budapest and no fewer than 25 other capital cities. Trains to Vienna run every three hours. There is also a popular network of Inter City trains linking Budapest with the main Hungarian centres. International trains operate from the three largest stations:
Keleti pályaudvar: VIII., Baross tér. Tel: (+36–1) 413–4610
Nyugati pályaudvar: VI., Nyugati tér Tel: (+36–1) 349–8503
Déli pályaudvar I. Krisztina krt. 37. Tel: (+36–1) 375–6593
All three international railway stations are part of the Budapest Underground system, the Metró.
By Car
All Hungary’s motorways and most of her main roads radiate out from the capital. The M1, M3, M5 and M7 are toll motorways, and you must pay the appropriate toll (either at the border or at larger petrol stations) and display the windscreen sticker before joining the road. Road signs conform to continental standards.
