What People Are Saying About Our Conference…

I attended my first SGA Supply Chain Roundtable February 2012. I left with a wealth of knowledge and numerous contacts that I have called on over the years.   After my initial conference, I could not wait to get back to the office and begin to implement some of the things I learned. The topics we covered and the conversations with new Supply Chain friends from my industry made this perhaps the best, most amazing, unforgettable, and exciting training I have ever experienced. Join us and invite a co-worker. They will thank you! (SGA ROCKS!)

– Ann-Marie Stanford,  Alabama Gas Corporation

Not knowing what to expect, I signed up for the Southern Gas Association conference last July. The people I met were discussing supply chain for the energy industry – EXACTLY what I needed to help me improve support for my customers. The personal work experiences they shared with me, and the presentations throughout the conference, were inspirational. Not only did I learn so much at this conference I made business friendships that will last forever. With this type of networking, I am able to consult one of my business friends with issues or questions I have and receive some great feedback. Come join us, and meet me, Devon.

– Devon Bergeron, Mobile Gas Service Corporation

After lunch, you will take a BEHIND THE SCENES TOUR OF THE COLUMBIA RESTAURANT where you will be guided through this one city block size facility exploring it’s nearly 100 years of history, tradition and culture.  You will then enjoy free time to shop in Columbia’s own cigar and gift shop.
