Concurrent breakout sessions will also take place and be facilitated by executives from Ariba, an SAP company, Denali Group, Fieldglass and PeopleFluent.
“Our Symposiums bring our buy-side members together in a local vicinity to share best practices and network with other colleagues facing the same issues,” says SIG CEO and President, Dawn Tiura. “The ability to collaborate in an intimate setting contributes to the creation of lifelong business relationships built on trust and respect.”
“SIG events encourage the sharing of best practices…and applying something from one industry to another opens new ways of thinking,” adds Stephani McGarry, SIG Vice President, Global Events. “We are frequently told by members that the dialogues continue long after the day is done, and that is exactly what we want to happen.”
SIG Symposiums bring together executives from Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies to network and discuss issues and best practices in sourcing, procurement, outsourcing, offshoring, and nearshoring. Over the course of these one-day events, senior buy-side executives from different industries share successes and failures, engage in open dialogues and address challenges faced by sourcing and outsourcing executives.
