What is Women in Procurement & Supply Chain 2018

The 4th Annual Women in Procurement & Supply Chain conference is a unique forum that is dedicated to advancing the opportunities and career track for executives across the procurement and supply chain.

This highly-popular gathering addresses specific industry challenges facing procurement stakeholders, together with timely, candid and thought-provoking insights into the future opportunities (and pain points) addressing procurement.

With a following built over three years, this event attracts strong support from women, as well as the leading male champions for change.

The event offers a platform for procurement stakeholders to share their experiences, insights, stories and best-practice innovations.

The agenda offers inspirational and innovative content, while enabling participants to come away energised, inspired, and motivated in their roles.

Over three days, you will benefit from award-winning presentations, candid panel discussions and highly-interactive roundtables.

While the agenda addresses female participation and career progression, male counterparts are warmly welcomed to join the discussion and debate involving procurement trends and opportunities.
