The CSCMP Supply Chain Hall of Fame, hosted by the University of Arkansas, Walton College of Business, will open on April 13th 6-8pm in Rogers, Ark (5111 W J.B. Hunt Drive, Rogers, AR 72758). The opening will gather 100 attendees from 6-8pm for drinks and an opening ceremony. There will be an initial exhibit devoted to Henry Ford, one of the three inaugural inductees in the hall of fame. Invitees include the donors, CSCMP leadership and Board of Directors, University leadership and supply chain leaders from around the nation.

The purpose of the Hall will be to shine a bright light on the greatest supply chain innovations and leadership accomplishments today and inspire and equip supply chain professionals and leaders of the future that will innovate and build everything supply chain management is yet to become.

CSCMP (Council for Supply Chain Professionals) is the leading global professional association for supply chain professionals (based in Chicago). CSCMP started the Hall of Fame in 2016 as a virtual hall and a conference event.

Thanks to the generous support of Mrs. Hunt and the Blass family this year the physical hall will open. The multifunctional meeting space will house a display devoted to inductees and house exhibits devoted to inductees. The space will be used for seminars, lectures and functions.

The University of Arkansas, Walton College of Business will host, coordinate and organize exhibits and events, as a service to the supply chain profession, supply chain professionals and students and all the future potential that supply chain management holds for business and the regions in which they operate and innovate.
