Several supply chain industry conferences — including mainstays like Manifest and TPM 2025 — may have passed, but there is still a wealth of knowledge to look forward to in the back half of the year.
With issues like international trade and tariff policy uncertainty and the threat of labor tensions at the forefront of industry woes, planning and insight is more critical than ever in order to build resilience and mitigation strategies.
The remaining conferences feature different focuses, many of which center around fostering supply chain resilience in a tumultuous environment, whether for procurement or logistics management, warehouse improvement or talent recruitment.
We’ve compiled a list of the remaining top supply chain conferences in 2025. We’ll be creating a new list in January as details around 2026 conferences emerge, so be sure to check back for next year’s key industry events.
