I really enjoyed the panels and the breakout sessions. The breakout sessions where a great way to easily network.

Overall felt it was a really good conference, specifically with the content and focus area being on Marketing vs. broader procurement categories. The panels and sessions were good, but I found most value in the roundtable discussions and breakouts with peers and industry leaders. These sessions allowed not just networking, but brainstorming, experience sharing and increased camaraderie. Definitely planning to be back!

I would like to hear more conversations around procurement clients and what tips that have or process they use to get the best quality and timelines from Agencies

Pros: Knowledgeable professionals covering every aspect of Marketing procurement. Great opportunities for networking. Overall, very well-run. Areas for improvement: Could use some more time between breakout sessions (Tracks) , it seemed like I was running between them and still walking in late to the next one. Also, the main room was very chilly, needed to turn down the AC a bit.

Good conference overall. Would like to see more detailed presentations about contract negotiations and rates instead of so many panel discussions.
