THE PROCUREMENT ROUNDTABLE
 

Our aim is to bring together the procurement community to discuss the big topics impacting the profession.

Join the debate on the biggest topics in Procurement

No slides, no speeches, no selling! Our aim is to bring together the procurement community to discuss the big topics impacting the profession. So, we might all benefit from each others' shared learnings and experiences.

Each roundtable takes the form of an open forum discussion focused on a chosen topic. A guest speaker helps to set the scene and guide the debate, but it is your participation that makes the roundtable so valuable.
