SMC3 Connections 2027

SMC3 Connections brings together logistics experts to share insights, network, and explore new trends and technologies in freight transportation and supply chain management.

SMC3 Connections 2027

SMC3 Connections 2027 runs June 20–23, 2027 at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, on the coast south of Los Angeles. SMC3 has published the save-the-date; the programme follows closer to the event.

What it is

SMC3 describes Connections as a supply chain event it produces every year, built for networking and industry education. Carriers, shippers, logistics service providers and technology providers attend. The content leans heavily on less-than-truckload (LTL) freight: the 2026 programme included sessions on LTL pricing and service, freight fraud and carrier vetting, and freight-network risk research from ATRI, with speakers from carriers, 3PLs and shippers.

Worth knowing

• A resort event. Connections moves between resort venues; 2026 was at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida.
• More than sessions. The 2026 event also had an SMC3 Golf Classic and organised guest activities, so check the organiser's site for what is planned around the 2027 programme.
• Presentations after the event. SMC3 has shared conference slide decks with attendees who complete its post-event survey.
