ProcureCon 2009 – Cash, Risk & Value Management

Main Conference Day One: November 12, 2009

The interactive event format creates a topic framework and allows for the program to adapt to the tides of change. This way, you’ll get answers to the issues you are grappling with today, not those of six months past. We now know that can make a big difference in terms of topic relevance... Makes sense, don’t you think?
