Since then, we have served as a powerful catalyst for technology-driven innovation, process optimization, risk management, and global supply chain excellence. In honor of our 20th anniversary, and to more accurately reflect our focus, we adopted a new look and changed our name to The Boeing Center for Supply Chain Innovation. And with a renewed vigor, we completed the most successful year in our history. Not only did we work on a record number of corporate projects, but we also hosted several events featuring exceptional speakers and supported research on a number of&＃160;cutting-edge topics. This spring, we welcomed Mike Pinedo, the Julius Schlesinger Professor of Operations Management at New York University, to talk about&＃160;operational risk management&＃160;in the service industry at our 13th annual Meir Rosenblatt memorial lecture. And we&＃160;welcomed John Stroup, President and CEO of Belden Inc., to share his&＃160;perspectives on Industry 4.0&＃160;and the emerging technologies that will impact the manufacturing industry and beyond. Both presentations were intellectually stimulating and thought provoking. We also held our inaugural project competition and awards ceremony, the&＃160;Project of the Year Symposium,&＃160;which highlighted our top five corporate projects from the 2016-2017 academic year. The Symposium featured presentations from our student teams that worked on projects for Anheuser-Busch InBev, Belden, Boeing, Emerson, and Monsanto. The teams competed for awards in &＃8220;Project of the Year,&＃8221; &＃8220;Greatest Immediate Business Impact,&＃8221; and &＃8220;Presentation Excellence,&＃8221; and split a $10,500 prize pool. A summary of all our spring projects can be found below. Our 3rd annual&＃160;Supply Chain Finance & Risk Management Conference&＃160;took place on May 14-15. The aim of the conference, which was attended by prominent academic researchers from top business schools from around the world, was to stimulate interactions and knowledge sharing at the interface of operations and finance, and supply chain risk management. The conference featured presentations based on current research trends, including real operations and risk management, crowd funding, finance, trade credit, and hedging. There was also a panel discussion on emerging themes and directions of the field. &＃160;One of the initiatives resulting from the conference will be an edited book, comprised of short papers submitted by attendees, to be published this fall as an issue in the&＃160;Foundations and Trends in Technology, Information and Operations Management&＃160;book series. We would also like to share with you some of the corporate projects The Boeing Center and student teams have led for our corporate clients this year. Lastly, we would like to thank all of our corporate member companies&＃160;for providing us with the opportunity to offer valuable experiential learning to our students, who dedicated long hours to ensure delivery of insightful and impactful supply chain solutions. We hope you all had an awesome summer, and we look forward to working with you again soon!
