Strategic Procurement Forum – Perth 21st August
The CIPSA Strategic Procurement Forum at the Novotel Langley on the 21st August will address the key issues facing the profession, with a diverse programme designed to meet the needs of the Western Australia market.
Featuring presentations from a variety of senior practitioners, consultants and academics from WA’s leading organisations, consultants and academics, the programme will address the key issues facing procurement professionals today. Additionally we have included two of the most popular sessions presented at the CIPSA Category Management Forum in Sydney in March. The programme has been developed to allow sufficient time for interactive discussions at the end of relevant sessions.
Of course conferences such as this are not just about the educational sessions. Feedback from previous CIPSA Conferences indicates that delegates gain huge benefit from the opportunity to network with their peers. With this in mind we have structured the programme to provide delegates with plenty of opportunity to meet and discuss the issues of the day.
This is our third consecutive year of running a CIPSA conference in Perth, which each year being more successful than the last. For those procurement professionals who have not yet experienced a CIPSA Conference, it is a great opportunity to see what you have been missing. For those who have attended other CIPSA Conferences, such as the Annual Conference in Melbourne, it is a great opportunity to engage with your colleagues at the regional level.
Whichever category you fall into I commend the programme to you and look forward to seeing you at the conference.
