Are You Ready for the Next Level of Supply Chain Leadership?

Let MIT Take You There

Today’s companies are realizing the importance of the supply chain as a revenue generator— it's not just a cost of doing business. In order to remain competitive in the global marketplace, senior executives must completely transform their business approach and conventional supply chain practices, and embrace new capabilities that drive more value. How can you leverage the latest supply chain tools, practices and capabilities to ensure that your company is poised to adapt in this rapidly changing environment and not be left behind? You can start by learning from the best at MIT.

The MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (CTL) invites you to attend its industry-leading executive education program Supply Chain Management: Driving Strategic Advantage.

Taught by distinguished MIT faculty and researchers, this executive course is a fast-paced mix of simulations, case studies, CTL research, and thought-provoking, interactive class sessions.

There has never been a better time to hone your supply chain management skills and develop new ones. Join us at CTL and step up to the future of supply chain.

Where is the course being held?

The course will be held on the MIT campus at the Faculty Club, 50 Memorial Drive, 6th floor (the Alfred P. Sloan Building - E52). You can locate building E52 by using MIT's interactive campus map.

When does the course officially begin and end?

Course check-in and informal networking will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 7, 2011. We will adjourn at approximately 2:00 p.m. on Friday, June 10, 2011.

 When booking your return flight, take into consideration the following recommendations for travel time and security checks at Logan: allow two hours for a domestic flight and three hours for an international flight.

Are accommodations provided?
No, each person is responsible for his/her own accommodations.

Where should I stay?
Guests are responsible for their own hotel accommodations. For accommodation listings, please see Visiting MIT; however, please note that the room rates do not vary greatly for those hotel properties in proximity to MIT.

Where is the nearest airport?
Boston's Logan International Airport.

What is the best way to travel from the airport to the symposium?

To get to MIT from the airport, we strongly suggest taking a cab. The trip will take anywhere from 15-30 minutes, and the fare is roughly $30-35. The cab fare from Logan is always a bit more than the return, because a surcharge at the airport and a tunnel toll add approximately $5 to the total fare.

If you live locally and prefer public transportation, take the MBTA Red Line to the Kendall/MIT stop. We are a short three block walk from the T.

Should I rent a car?
We do not recommend renting a car. The expense on top of poorly marked streets and lack of available parking makes having a car more of a nuisance than a convenience.

If I drive, how do I get there and where can I park?
If you are renting a car or will be driving, MapQuest and Google Map offer excellent mapping services to get you from your doorstep to MIT. The physical address of the Faculty Club is 50 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA; the Marriott is at 50 Broadway, Cambridge, MA (yes, both addresses are 50).

The nearest self-parking garage is adjacent to the Cambridge Marriott. Rates are currently $20/night or $18/twelve hours. This garage is not owned or operated by the Marriott.

What should I wear?
Appropriate attire is business casual; no ties or suit coats are necessary.

What if I have a dietary restriction or allergy?
If you have a dietary restriction or allergy, please email CTL Events Coordinator, Nancy Martin, nlmartin@mit.edu to let her know.
