TAMA, in alliance with the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce, is hosting the First Annual TAMA Conference which will spotlight Supply Chain, HR, and Purchasing best practices that have emerged from the 2020 COVID-19 global crisis. Conference speakers are Industrial experts, right here in Tennessee, who will share information that will help successfully navigate through the next business disruptor.
VIRTUAL OPTION: These past few months continue to be challenging for everyone, and we hope that you are all safe and healthy amid the COVID-19 pandemic. As the state of this public health emergency changes from day to day, we will remain focused on providing flexibility for our events. We are adding a virtual option to the TAMA Annual Conference. We have a premier line-up of speakers and please mark your calendar to join us live or online. *Select whether virtual or in-person attendance during registration.
Please make plans to join us, to get informed, network with the people that make it happen, meet new friends, perhaps see some old friends both in-person or online, and enjoy a bit of Middle Tennessee!
