Senior Manager, Sourcing and Procurement
Overall, the event was excellent.
Some recommendations on a few things that would raise the level to 5 star for me.
1. More structured time to meet up with people in similar sourcing categories. (e.g. Legal, Benefits, etc). The table session on Tuesday afternoon was awesome. But, I wanted to attend two and could only be in one place at one time. It would be great to have an opportunity for more than one of these. I think that many of us are looking to meet peers managing the same category areas to share ideas. It's easier to do so in structured settings vs informal networking time. Anything you can do to get people with an interest in particular categories together in small groups would be appreciated.
Another improvement area would be more choices on the second day for smaller sessions. There were a number of larger sessions in the morning on Tuesday that I didn't find as valuable. While some large groups sessions are fine, I like to be able to choose a topic that's directly applicable to my area.
Finally, it would be great if the App is updated with more descriptions and information.
A number of sessions were valuable and interesting! The venue and food were good. I will definitely consider returning again in the future. Thanks!
