Expert Reviews

The sessions are succinct and the content is timely; the Practitioner’s only day is priceless; but the real gem is the direct interaction with senior level executives in my field – that is worth the price of the conference alone. Nowhere else do I find this much benefit in the way of best practices and indirect executives. I have yet to walk away from a ProcureCon event without a learning, idea or supplier recommendation that affects my company’s bottom line.

The networking opportunities alone are worth attending an event. Where else do you have the opportunity to sit in a room full of procurement professionals and listen to how they dealt with challenges and problems.....then meet them one-on-one to discuss further.

There is a different pulse about ProcureCon than other sourcing conferences. Attendees are true influencers in the industry and eager to share and participate which creates learning opportunities for all.

Day 1 of this conference already paid for itself: I learned some new methods I was able to apply that night to a major RFP. It was the single best conference day I’ve ever attended, and the roundtables were especially beneficial. I am sold on ProcureCon – and I’m a tough nut to crack!

Aaron Cleavinger, Director of Procurement, Ulta Beauty

I'm continually impressed by the high caliber of progressively minded professionals that I have met at these events, and the procurement geek in me revels in being immersed amidst my procurement kin.

The ProcureCon Conference is a key industry event that should not be missed by any Supply Chain expert. ProcureCon brings together a unique blend of Supply Chain experts from across all industries to share their experiences and knowledge with a team of people who truly embrace the strategically important field of Supply Chain Management. I have already put into action some of cutting edge innovations learned at ProcureCon conference last year and can’t wait to attend the 2010 conference to learn more."

The conference was a series of interesting input and insights. Very good level of attendees and content. Organization was very good as well. I am very satisfied with my take away of the conference. Hope in 2010 we can have more Unilever delegates. Cheers

Women in procurement breakfast was an excellent opportunity to begin developing a network for idea exchange

I speak with my contacts from ProcureCon throughout the year. I recently emailed a question on corporate cards and received about 10 answers within the hour; very powerful...

Great content and relevance. I had the opportunity to network with key like-minded individuals, meet some key service providers as well as hear how others are dealing with sourcing issues.
