What is CSCE?
CSCE meetings bring together 40–50 senior supply chain executives not just to listen, but to lead. Through private Company Panel sessions and facilitated peer roundtables, executives tackle the real challenges facing health system logistics.
Most importantly, they get a direct seat at the table to critique, advise and guide the solutions that suppliers are bringing to market, ensuring the next generation of supply chain tools actually solves the problems they face.

The Company Panel Format
The Company Panel is the signature session format of every CSCE meeting. It gives one supplier company a private room with a curated group of attending executives. No competing vendors. No distractions. Just a focused conversation between the innovators building solutions and the operational leaders who will actually implement them.
Private Panel Sessions
One company presents to a room of senior supply chain executives. With no competing vendors present, the focus remains entirely on collaboration and the strategic initiatives that matter to your organization.
Unfiltered, Real-Time Feedback
Executives respond candidly. Discover what works, what doesn’t, and what health systems actually need right now. There is no polite deflection—just honest dialogue and real-time surveying to capture actionable data.
High-Level Executive Insight
Every person in the room is a top-tier supply chain leader. They aren’t there to be pitched; they are there to provide the strategic and operational guidance that shapes the future of healthcare logistics and procurement.
