EcoVadis is delighted to be a partner at the 11th PASA CPO Exchange.
Held in-person in Gold Coast, the exchange provides practitioners with the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing, informative couple of days, at minimal cost, in the company of peers and a number of leading suppliers of products, tools or services.
The two-day event includes an educational programme featuring:
• Keynote sessions to open your eyes to new sources of value
• Up to ten intimate round-table sessions during which you can discuss your key procurement challenges with your peers.
• Dedicated meeting time to meet potential new suppliers and discuss how they might be able to assist your business.
• A Networking Dinner on Thursday evening, featuring a guest speaker.
• A Networking Breakfast on Friday morning.
• Free accommodation at the Sheridan Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast for up to three nights.
• Transfers back to Gold Coast airport if leaving at the end of the conference.
How the event works
All delegates will attend the keynote and networking sessions together. Where the programme shows round-tables or partner meetings, CPO delegates will attend one or the other. For each one-hour round-table session, there are two half-hour partner meeting slots available. This means that CPO delegates will be able to attend up to five of the eight round-table sessions, leaving three such timeslots open to fulfil their commitment to their six supplier meetings. Of course, if CPOs wish to conduct more supplier meetings, they are welcome to do so (a number of attendees at previous CPO Exchanges added on extra partner meetings)
Round Table sessions
Undoubtedly, one of the strongest benefits of attending for CPOs, is the opportunity to discuss key challenges with their peers. The headline topics for the round-table sessions will be nominated by CPOs, with those selected to be discussed asked to chair their discussion. This format will allow even greater personalisation of the programme, enabling CPOs to draw on the knowledge and experience of their peers in search of solutions.
