World Procurement Excellence Summit

27th -29th of September, 2023
Hybrid
Procurement Excellence Summit September 2023

World Procurement Excellence Summit coming soon in September. The meeting will address the major procurement challenges that have surfaced over the past three peculiar and difficult years of Covid, lockdowns, the Ukrainian War, political and economic upheavals, and record-shattering weather disasters. Today's risk and resilience challenges force procurement to reevaluate ingrained notions like outsourcing, sourcing from low-cost nations, and supplier rationalization. As procurement plays a key role in combating climate change and supporting broader ESG concerns, we must also embrace new goals. Fortunately, digitalization and technology can be helpful, but new tools must be used effectively and technology alone is insufficient. To succeed, we must also guarantee that the upcoming generation of professionals possesses the necessary abilities, attitudes, and information. The summit will therefore focus on five key areas related to procurement professionals.
