Transplace has announced its partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL) Supply Chain Exchange. The Supply Chain Exchange is a community of companies that share a common goal to leverage cutting-edge research and knowledge to achieve competitive supply chain advantages.

This exchange provides networking and educational opportunities within MIT CTL's corporate partner community, which includes manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and transportation and logistics service providers. Participating companies openly share information, experiences, and opinions in a collaborative and collegial setting to help drive supply chain best practices. Transplace will directly benefit from interaction with MIT researchers on current industry issues and access to CTL's symposia series, student recruiting, and communications programs.

MIT CTL will be taking an active role in Transplace's seventh annual Shipper Symposium, held in the John Q Hammons Embassy Suites from May 5-7, 2009, in Dallas TX. The agenda and speakers for the symposium can be found at http://symposium.transplace.com.
