In 2020 procurement must evolve to support the c-suite agenda and, in doing so, become permanently relevant to the CEO despite a backdrop of market uncertainty and external factors that could dampen growth prospects. This year’s congress will equip delegates with the knowledge, real life case studies and solutions to pivot for business success.
