Satellite Seminars
All Scheduled Seminars have been CANCELLED
IMPORTANT NOTE: ISM’s Satellite Seminars Transition to Cyberspace
Beginning in February 2012, ISM will begin broadcasting live streaming Affiliate Webcasts, rather than using satellite technology. This means that we will no longer be holding sessions at the Corning Community College Business Development Center. ISM has replaced the 4 hour long sessions with a 1 hour webcast that is being offered Free Of Charge to all ISM members. You may choose to participate in these events individually or in group settings by registering following the link below. Continuing education credits will be issued within 2 weeks of the seminar. Please make sure you enter all participating member information during the registration process to receive your credits.
The first Affiliate Webcast, "Category Management and Understanding the Importance of Relationships," will air on February 9.
Time: 1:00 PM EST | 12:00 PM CST | 10:00 AM PST
Do you wish to improve the visibility, sourcing practices, contracting and value received from your spend which provides value to your clients? This program will assist in answering some of those questions by focusing on topics related to distributors, manufacturers, raw material suppliers, service providers, and true commodity supplies. Our presenter Robert Handfield, PhD. will also explore the difference between commodity management and category management, as well as the skills needed to deal with foreign sources and manage administration costs. "Category Management and Understanding the Importance of Relationships" airs on February 9, 2012 at 1:00 PM EST/10:00 AM PST.
