ProcureCon IT Sourcing Virtual Event
The Virtual Event For Senior Level IT Sourcing Executives
April 20, 2021 | 12PM ET
Where Sourcing Leaders Connect & Inspire
As an IT procurement leader, failing to establish your role in digital transformation could make your team less valuable to the business.
Are you offering insights into the best commercial partners for AI, automation, data analytics and mobile apps? What’s more, are you investing in the right cloud, software, telecoms and hardware solutions to support your organization’s drive to digital?
To find out how your IT Procurement, SAM, ITAM and Vendor Management programs measure up against North America’s top IT spenders, participate in easily accessible fireside chats, panels, and interviews, all available digitally and on-demand.
