Strategic timing & your feedback 

We've strategically scheduled this event one day before the MRO Supply Chain Matters Conference (MSCM) March 3-4, 2026), also in Houston. This allows you to: 

• Attend both events with a single trip 

• Maximize your learning and networking opportunities 

• Reduce travel time and costs 

• Connect with the broader Maximo and supply chain community across both events 

The MRO Supply Chain Matters Conference (MSCM) covers broader supply chain topics, including inventory, replenishment, procurement, sourcing, e-commerce, logistics, receiving and invoicing, primarily for Maximo customers but will also provide insights for all supply chain professionals - making it a perfect complement to our MIO-focused discussions. We aim to provide additional MIO content in the MSCM Conference to continue the learning journey. For more information about the MRO Supply Chain Matters (MSCM) Conference, please see:  https://www.mrosupplychainmatters.com  

Feel free to forward this invite to any other supply chain professionals in your organisation.
