APCADEC establishes partnership for PROCURECON INDIRECT 2008

PROCURECON INDIRECT, 14-16 April 2008, Hilton, Amsterdam - is the only European event designed specifically for Indirect Procurement Professionals, provides you with a unique opportunity to hear from procurement leaders how they have approached and resolved key challenges, benchmark with your peers and others from cutting edge sectors and benefit from numerous networking opportunities. No other event in the marketplace focuses on indirect procurement, attracts as many senior procurement directors from all over Europe, and has such an in depth topical programme agenda.

A time of increasing competition and rising costs, how will CPOs and Heads of Indirect continue to drive forward the indirect procurement value proposition?

We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join us at PROCURECON Indirect 2008 from April 14th to 16th 2008. PROCURECON INDIRECT is the only European event designed specifically for Indirect Procurement Professionals, which brings together senior figures across major industries and delivers cutting edge strategies and case studies along with the opportunity to network and benchmark with your peers. If you are striving to advance your indirect procurement strategies and benchmark with the best in the market, then PROCURECON INDIRECT can help you achieve your strategic goals. The number of places will be limited and I would strongly urge you to reserve your place now to avoid disappointment and to take advantage of the discounts on offer.
