07:30 Women In Procurement Breakfast (Pre-Registration Required)

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 Breakfast returns to provide an intimate setting for female executives to discuss the challenges they face and celebrate their successes. Participation provides you with access to a growing network of peers you can connect with throughout the year.

In this joint presentation, you’ll get two very distinct viewpoints on what to do once the savings have been squeezed out.
