2025 Supply Chain Research Summit
July 16 - July 18
The summit is central to CARISCA’s goal to integrate Africa’s supply chain research into mainstream research and strengthen African supply chain capacity. It is the largest academic supply chain conference on the continent.
This year we are moving the event from Ghana to Nigeria, Africa’s most-populated country. This move will further CARISCA’s vision of becoming a pan-African hub for supply chain education, research and practice.
The summit is set for July 16-18, 2025, in Lagos, Nigeria. As in previous years, the 2025 Summit will be a hybrid event. The in-person venue is the Lagos Marriott Hotel Ikeja. Virtual attendees will participate via Zoom.
Presentations will revolve around the theme “Reimagining Africa’s Supply Chains for a Sustainable Future.”
Registration for the summit will open soon! We encourage you to sign up as soon as possible once it does—space is limited, and we anticipate spots will fill quickly.
“The summit is a can’t-miss event for supply chain management scholars from Africa and around the world,” says Dale Rogers, CARISCA’s executive director. “In only a few years, it has become the place where new research ideas relevant to Africa are developed and presented.”

A highlight of the summit will once again be the PhD Dissertation Awards competition. This competition showcases the best logistics and supply chain management PhD research projects being carried out in African higher education institutions.
