They also discussed how leading-edge companies are attaining trusted business advisor status by delivering messaging that resonates with C-Suite constituents throughout the organization.

• Strategies for maximizing procurement value creation across source-to-pay
• Applications leveraging technology innovations to create transparency in the procurement process and engage stakeholders
• Best practices for aligning procurement goals to enterprise-wide goals and initiatives
• Proven techniques for establishing, reinforcing and measuring procurement’s brand
