Welcome to Chief Procurement Officer Exchange
From Managing Supplier Performance to Nurturing Supplier Relationships to Achieving Supplier Partnerships: Maximizing Your Return on Procurement
Welcome to IQPC’s 2014 Chief Procurement Officer Exchange. We are excited to bring you an elite forum comprised of the top procurement executives from the world’s leading global organizations.
Our pre-qualification criteria and strategic delegate acquisition process will ensure that you are surrounded by peers at your level, and who can offer the expert guidance needed to advance your procurement processes and organization to the next level.
The attendees chosen for this Exchange are procurement executives, who, like you, are dealing with a load of challenges as they are tasked with driving value beyond cost savings. Through an interactive dialogue-driven event, we address the following challenges; gaining agreement in sustainability standards between buyers and sellers, maintaining successful supplier relationships, focusing on what is "core within procurement, taking a big data approach to managing supply chain complexity, establishing a "global procurement management' structure and how leadership competencies rank relative to deep technical/functional expertise.
Our goal is to ensure each and every session delivers the right content, in a format where you can easily obtain the key takeaways and next steps. You will leave the Exchange with the benchmarks, tools, frameworks, methodologies, data, and inspirational insight to bring excellence into your procurement function that will ultimately impact and benefit your organization at large.

Testimonials from Past Attendees
"It was great to meet a company that provides services in an area that we are struggling with and feeling resource constrained."CPO, Mastercard
"I thought it was absolutely outstanding! The agenda was awesome, filled with insight and great presentations. The debates were very meaningful and allowed much time for audience participation.
One new concept that I enjoyed was the brainweave, but I had to leave through a couple of meetings due to the other business meetings scheduled for McKesson. In addition, I thought that the Value Propositions presented by keynote speakers were very instrumental of providing an outlook on current and future strategy.
The food, venue and organization of the meeting was phenomenal! I heard many peers indicate that they thought that the meeting was the best that they had ever experienced. I have been too many forums and this was one of the best in which I attended as well." McKesson Corporation
"Well organized, informative session that covered the real issues and trends - not just those that are academic"MGM Resorts
