Why attend

The flagship event of the MSCM community

MSCM Conference exists to give dedicated attention to the MRO supply chain disciplines that have historically had fewer opportunities for collaboration. It complements the broader IBM Maximo ecosystem and is not a trade show or vendor expo.

Most Maximo events and user groups focus on maintenance, reliability, and the broader EAM. MSCM exists because procurement, inventory, materials management, storerooms, suppliers, and P2P need a dedicated place for deeper discussion and peer learning.

Agenda shaped by Maximo users
