The Operations and Logistics Management Association, sponsored by the Center for Operational Excellence, invites you to participate in this year’s Annual Link Symposium – Linking Students, Faculty and Business. Formerly known as World Café, the COE-OLMA Link Symposium is a half day event that brings together graduate students interested in operations, supply chain, logistics and related fields, faculty from the Fisher College of Business, and professionals from around Central Ohio.

The topic for this year’s event will be Sales and Operations Planning.

The Symposium has adopted a world-café discussion style. Each table in the room will have a different discussion focus. Participants rotate between tables, having an opportunity to participate in four of the six discussion topics led by faculty and professionals. The afternoon ends with a networking period and a summary discussion led by students.

Please sign up on the Hub if you are interested in attending. Contact an OLMA Executive Team member if you have any questions.
