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 (MIT 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, MIT 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 MIT 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.
When does the course officially begin and end?
Course check-in and informal networking will begin at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 10, 2014. We will adjourn at approximately 2:00 p.m. on Friday, June 13, 2014.
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. We do not have a block of rooms reserved. However, the hotel property most conveniently located to the campus is:
Boston Marriott Cambridge
Two Cambridge Center, 50 Broadway
Cambridge, MA 02142 USA
617-494-6600
For additional 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 course?
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 $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 Marriott is 50 Broadway, Cambridge, MA.
The nearest self-parking garage is The Central Parking System Garage located at 4 Cambridge Center. Rates are currently $40/night or $35/ten hours. Although it is adjacent to the Cambridge Marriott, it 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.
