This conference provides an excellent opportunity to meet with colleagues and share new research with top academics in the supply chain management discipline. In addition to the opportunity to reconnect with and confer with your colleagues, there are many
additional ways to participate in this event. For instance, you are invited to submit a full-length research or teaching paper to be considered for symposium awards and full-length presentation. You are also invited to submit an abstract to report on teaching
innovation or supply chain management research that is in progress. These abstracts will be considered for presentation during our expanded Poster Sessions. We also seek volunteers to develop and moderate expert panel sessions on timely and important topics
that affect the supply chain management community at large. Finally, we can always use help reviewing submissions. Please find more details on these opportunities below. Thank you for your involvement in the 2018 CSCMP ARS. We look forward to connecting with
you in Nashville!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Abstract for Poster Presentation. These Abstracts should be five pages or less in length and include at least one figure that helps to describe critical ideas behind the research in progress. Consistent with the 2017 ARS, this year’s ARS will host dedicated
poster sessions during the day of the symposium. Considering the overall positive feedback about the value of last year’s poster sessions, we are expanding this part of the conference as a means to improve how we share our research and solicit feedback. There
will be a greater proportion of posters vs. full paper presentation this year compared to last. Top posters will be considered for display during the CSCMP EDGE conference. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

is always helpful to spread the workload more evenly across a diverse team of experts. Please contact Ben Hazen (hazenscm@gmail.com) if you would like to be considered for reviewing for the ARS or participating in any other way. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

abstracts are also welcomed, but priority in the final program will be given to full-length papers, and space for abstracts could therefore be limited.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
