WHAT IS WOMEN IN PROCUREMENT & SUPPLY CHAIN 2022?

LEADING THE FUTURE OF PROCUREMENT AND SUPPLY CHAIN THROUGH CONTENT, COMMUNITY AND EMPOWERMENT

Women in Procurement & Supply Chain is excited to return for its 7th annual event – live, in person, face-to-face!

Firmly established as THE calendar event for procurement and supply chain professionals, WIPSC has become synonymous with inspiration, empowerment, critical content and networking opportunities.

Bringing together an inquisitive and passionate community of procurement stakeholders in an inclusive, supportive environment, the event offers a unique and proven forum to share experiences, insights, trends, innovation and best practice to advance careers and transform the procurement function.

For 2022, Women in Procurement & Supply Chain will move the conversation forwards for all the issues of today, and tomorrow: social and sustainable procurement, diversity measures in the supply chain, risk management, governance, technology for more efficient and agile transactions and collaboration, as well as how to develop and improve the crucial leadership, negotiation, critical thinking and relationship skills this unique function needs to harness to succeed.

In a profession where people are the key, building confidence, gaining wide experience and investing time in networking internally and externally is a critical path for procurement and supply chain career success. Join Women in Procurement & Supply Chain and build your roadmap for 2022 and beyond.

“Burning topics discussed by authentic and genuine speakers whilst considering not just women but also the environment and economy as a whole.” - Anika Stolz, Senior Operations and Finance Process Manager, HSBC, 2020 attendee.
