June 22–24, 2026 | Innisbrook Resort | Palm Harbor, Florida
It's not a conference.
It's a closed-door, invitation-only think tank for SVPs, CSCOs, and senior leaders from the world's most advanced supply chains.
No press. No analysts. Just the sharpest minds solving real-world problems.
Over three days, executives from IBM, Walmart, P&G, Lenovo, Microsoft, Starbucks, Ferguson, Kimberly-Clark, and more will tackle the toughest topics facing supply chains today.
Why SCLA?
Because the future of supply chain won't be built in isolation. It will be shaped by the people in this room. SCLA is where experience meets foresight — where leaders challenge each other and rise together.
An Invitation-Only Forum of Senior Supply Chain Leaders
Featuring executives from the world's most respected global enterprise companies.
