Practical Strategies for Sourcing in a Global Environment

Sunday, January 4th, 2015


23:35 Roundtable Discussions

Be sure to join these interactive roundtable sessions and take a deep dive into the specific areas you came to discuss. Opportunities to sit and learn from executives like these do not exist elsewhere. Take control of your own event experience. Don’t be shy! Ask questions (or answer them!) of other conference attendees who are dealing with the same challenges as you.
• Network with industry peers with very similar challenges, interests and responsibilities
• Take a deep dive into a niche topic in an intimate and informal setting moderated by a subject matter expert
• Don’t miss out on the discussions you want to participate in—you’ll get to select a new topic after 30 minutes
