ProcureCon CPO Roundtables
The UK’s Most Senior Level CPO Forum By Invitation Only
ProcureCon CPO Roundtables first took place in June 2009 and was extremely well received. In June 2009 we had 7 roundtables and 73 CPOs attended on the day. Delegates liked the fact that this is a strictly closed door roundtable event for UK’s leading CPOs only.
Following an opening panel discussion, the rest of the event consists of a series of interactive roundtable discussions. This new format allows you to:
- Soundboard peers like Andrew Croston, Head of Procurement, London 2012 and Peter Sentker, Director of Procurement, Hanson UKon current challenges across the procurement remit
- Brainstorm possible ways to overcome these challenges
- Learn from the experience of other procurement decision makers such as Tim Richardson, Head of Procurement, BA
At the CPO Roundtables you get the unparalleled opportunity to dig deep into the most fundamental procurement issues that concern you.
