Global Supply Chain Conference (Oct. 20-21)

Here's something that's totally free, and not bad if you're a Supply Chain dweeb: the Global Supply Chain Conference. The two day conference is completely virtual -- being available free, across the internet to registrants. There are three tracks to the conference: 1) The Supply Chain Advantage; 2) Excellence in Logistics; and 3) World-Class Materials Handling. Each track has its own keynote address, as well as separate webcast topics. I participated to the first conference in this series (last year I think), and it wasn't that bad. You need a highspeed connection to get the full video and audio, as well as access to the presentation materials. The presentation materials are usually available for download during the webcasts, so you can access them after the conference is over. The conference will require you to have the latest Macromedia Flash plugin for your browser; the Java Virtual Machine (from Sun or Microsoft); as well as the latest Media Player.

In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
