Last year, we had a packed room and question after question came for our keynote presenters and panellists who delivered ‘real’ examples of procurement optimisation and best practice. So this year, we have hand-selected two speakers and five panellists known for their progressive work in the sector and asked them to be candid and share what really drives their procurement organisations and how they are dealing with the current economic and business pressures. Expect lively Q&A sessions!

We have also changed the format of the day so you attend roundtable sessions and discuss problems with your peers, in between the presentations and panel sessions, so come armed with problems to discuss and brainstorm solutions with the top minds in your field. There won’t be any time for ‘um’s’ and ‘ar’s’, or generic points of discussion, your time is important and the sessions have been designed to extract maximum value, to network, discuss best practice and benchmark with the leading European CPOs across industries, in one room for one day only.

Under Chatham House Rule, this is a unique opportunity to hear candid insight from 80 other C-Level procurement executives across industrieson the challenges they face and a chance to dig deep into the most fundamental strategic sourcing and purchasing management issues that concern you.
