19:30 New! Women in Procurement Dinner

Women bring a different perspective to procurement and supply chain management and are increasingly becoming an integral part of many supply chain organizations. The ever-popular ProcureCon Women in Procurement session gets an upgrade for 2016, as a dinner. Without the time constraints the breakfast has in forcing your networking to end to attend conference sessions, you’ll have at least two hours in an intimate setting to discuss the challenges women in procurement face and celebrate their successes. Participation provides you with access to a growing network of peers you can connect with throughout the year. Space is limited to just 30 attendees, so be sure to RSVP as soon as you can!
