Over the two days the group will have presentations/discussions on Supplier governance, Telecom/TEM sourcing trends, and value added software reseller trends. In addition to these topics, each company in attendance will be given dedicated time to inform the group of current initiatives and solicit feedback. The real-time feedback session in conjunction with two informal & fun networking opportunities make each meeting an opportunity to have a large impact on the future of the member's company and the member's professional growth.
