Today at #ISMWorld2023: Social Media Stars and Loose Ends

May 10, 2023
By Dan Zeiger

The ISM World 2023 Annual Conference concluded on Wednesday, and Inside Supply Management® traditionally turns over part of its coverage to the attendees, session presenters and exhibitors by highlighting some of the best social media posts.

LinkedIn and Twitter accounts were busy during the three days at the Gaylord Texas Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, as participants shared their experiences and insights. Also, seeing the smiles and senses of humor among procurement professionals is always one of the best things about an Institute for Supply Management® event.
