For six decades, SAPICS has been at the heart of supply chain management in South Africa, a catalyst for learning, a platform for connection, and a community driving positive change. In 2026, as SAPICS celebrate 60 years of impact, you are invited to a milestone gathering that honours its legacy and ignites the leadership that will define the next era of supply chain excellence in Africa. The theme "Legacy to Leadership: 60 Years of Connection, Collaboration & Transformation" reflects more than a milestone; it is a call to action. It is a reminder that leadership is not a title, but a legacy in motion that is built through shared knowledge, resilient partnerships, and the courage to transform. Over the years, SAPICS has connected generations of supply chain thinkers, doers, innovators and change-makers. Today, those same connections are shaping a future that demands sustainability, inclusivity, and adaptability. The 48th conference will explore how supply chains can lead responsibly — balancing purpose and performance, technology and humanity, efficiency and equity. From seasoned leaders to the next wave of emerging voices, SAPICS 2026 will celebrate the people and ideas that move supply chains forward. It will challenge us to think beyond silos, to collaborate across industries and borders, and to reimagine what leadership looks like in a world that never stops evolving.
