Speaker Opportunities at CPO Rising 2017 (details):

In 2017, Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) will seek to extract and deliver more value from their departments than ever before as they attempt to stretch the limits of their organizations while also maximizing the relationships they have developed with suppliers and internal stakeholders. Some CPOS and teams surmount these obstacles more effectively than others, while some have lessons still to learn. What better place to learn these lessons than from procurement executives that have been there and come out the other side? Sharing these ideas is precisely the goal of CPO Rising 2017, Ardent Partners’ executive summit to be held on Tuesday, November 8 and Wednesday, November 9 in Boston. CPOs and other procurement executives can expect to learn best practices from their peers and how to apply the same strategies to their own operations.

To make this happen, however, Ardent Partners is opening up CPO Rising 2017 to speaker proposals. We are looking for procurement leaders who have achieved significant results or discovered a unique approach to a common challenge, as well as those who may have discovered a way to more effectively collaborate with stakeholders and suppliers as they craft a new, more agile organization.
