The organizer lists heads of indirect procurement, senior procurement technology leaders, and attendees at C-level, EVP, SVP, VP, senior director, and senior manager levels.
It is most useful for heads of indirect procurement and IT sourcing leaders at large companies, since the audience is senior, about 250 people, and the speakers include practitioners from Dell Technologies, Conduent and Semrush, along with a former J&J CPO. Sponsors such as NPI, Edbury Daley and Johnson & Oshan Law are advisory and legal firms, so the content leans toward negotiation and contracting; junior buyers and vendors seeking a large enterprise buyer pool will find a small, closed-in room.
Senior procurement and sourcing executives at summits like this usually wear business casual to business professional, such as a blazer with or without a tie. Chicago in November is cold and windy, so a coat is needed for the walk at Navy Pier.
