Home - Supply Management Forum

Over 70 procurement professionals came together in March 2023 to discuss how their teams would thrive in the Era of Change. We asked the big questions around the varied aspects of effective and sustainable change management; brought leaders together to discuss how to ensure teams and organisations adapt and thrive, and established connections that will support professional excellence.

Would your team benefit from meeting with top profession suppliers in tailored pre-arranged 1-2-1 meetings? Would you like the opportunity to build meaningful connections and relationships with like-minded professionals from innovative procurement companies? Then make sure to register your interest below to be amongst the first to hear about the 2024 forum.

"It was real pleasure to chair the Supply Management Forum 2023. Procurement professionals were able to connect with colleagues and peers, and share knowledge on overcoming common challenges and develop plans to address emerging social issues.

A fundamental part of this journey is leadership, and this forum provided a platform to discuss the issues our future leaders face and the skills required to achieve this. It was an enlightening experience and I hope to see you join us in 2024."
