ICLS is the annual academic conference of the International Federation of Logistics and Supply Chain Management Systems (IFLS). It is also a grand event which involves experts and scholars in the field of logistics and supply chain management from all over the world, especially Asia.

Judging from what has achieved in the previous 11 annual meetings, ICLS has played a positive and important role in carrying forward the research findings and practical applications from the Asia-Pacific region and around the world, boosting the communication of logistics and supply chain science and technology and developing cooperative research activities within the field.
