Ardent Partners Announces “CPO Rising 2018” Procurement Summit
Day-and-a-Half Executive Symposium to Highlight Technology, Innovation, Intelligence, and the Transformation of the Procurement Function
BOSTON — With the modern enterprise facing a new “age of intelligence,” in which data and insights are promoted as profound tools to succeed, the typical procurement function finds itself at the crux of a new world of business transformation. As other organizational groups latch onto the necessary tools, technologies, and innovations to foster growth and triumph, the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) and its team must take the required steps to build more forward-looking, “smart” capabilities and strategies.
“Now is the time for procurement to make the strides towards a ‘smart’ function that can be a source of incredible value for the greater organization. As the group designs its next era, there is tremendous pressure to revolutionize both tactical and strategic capabilities,” said Andrew Bartolini, Ardent Partners’ Chief Research Officer. “We are thrilled to announce our CPO Rising 2018 event this November in Boston to help CPOs and other procurement executives understand how to make the next great leap and transform the way it delivers value to the enterprise.”
The exclusive event — sponsored by Coupa, GEP, iValua, Determine, and AppZen — promises the interactive exchange of ideas and cutting edge research and analysis for CPOs and procurement executives. From explosive keynote presentations to illuminating CPO panel discussions, case studies, and breakout sessions, the executive-level speaker panel will highlight procurement-led innovation within the enterprise and across the supply chain. This year’s event will also include roundtables focused on innovation, technology, and the transformation of the profession.
