INNOVATIVE

The ProcureCon Indirect West agenda has evolved along with the role of a procurement practitioner. This year’s completely revamped agenda is designed to not just give you the “what” and “why” but also the “how” on business processes that have led to procurement innovation beyond the transformation. The unique conference format is designed to guide you toward implementing innovative strategies to retain competitive advantage though sessions geared toward moving you beyond your current place in your journey.

INTIMATE

Asking a question in a large room can be quite intimidating for some, but when in a group of 10-15 others with like-minded problems that need solving, magic happens. That’s why there are double the number of roundtable discussions at ProcureCon Indirect East in 2016. This is your opportunity to go in-depth with a ProcureCon speaker, share ideas, and make new connections in an intimate setting.

COLLABORATIVE

Introducing the “Overcoming Pain Points” Working Groups. This a unique opportunity to collaborate with 30 of your peers to create an action plan of five items that you can implement back in the office to solve your toughest challenges. You’ll leave ProcureCon Indirect East with 60 strategies you can implement in such complex processes and categories as automating tactical procurement, aligning strategies globally, HR, Marketing, Legal and more.

A COMMUNITY

You initially registered for ProcureCon for the education, but somehow you’ve ended up with 10 new connections with people that can help you improve your job and advance your career—all of them a phone call or email away— through casual conversations over coffee and refreshments. Join the Women in Procurement Community, one of the most popular networking functions at ProcureCon, or meet your next business connection at the evening receptions.

The ProcureCons community elevates the procurement function and the connections made at the events carry-on year round.
