SCF Forum

The SCF Forum & Awards 2017 will take place on Wednesday, 29th November 2017 in Amsterdam and brings together over 200 of Europe’s treasurers, procurement directors, banks, technology vendors and academics  to learn from each other and set out the future of Supply Chain Finance. Now in its fifth year, SCF Forum has grown to become the world’s leading supply chain finance event.

SCF Forum is different from other conferences: with an agenda driven by leading business schools and an ethos that is about learning and networking rather than selling, it attracts the treasurers and procurement directors of corporations that are serious about understanding what supply chain finance can do for their businesses.

​Keynote speeches, corporate case studies, plenaries and workshops, together with three breakout streams, make up the most comprehensive review of the state of Supply Chain Finance available anywhere.

During the SCF Forum there is a special session from Logistics and Fintech. They will explain the most important points of the white paper which is almost ready voor publication.
