Monday was the best day, topics were relevant, speakers very compelling. Afternoon sessions were a bit disorganized, times were not adhered to, but all good content. Tuesday, I was not excited about the game in lieu of the chairman's comments that was schedule. Speaker from Ebay on leadership was exceptional, roundtables and networking all very helpful. My only suggestion is to have a printed agenda available for participants, it's easier than constantly using your phone, also a pad for notes is essential to capture thoughts. Venue was awesome! How do I obtain the materials/presentation from the conference? Thank you!

Well run and organized event: Great networking, good food at even the "standard" meals, and I appreciated the blend of "practitioner-only" and supplier-inclusive time. The location was wonderful too. Main area for improvement: Speakers and content. Some of the sessions - both main hall and breakout - were disappointing. In some cases it seemed like the speakers were nervous, unprepared, or both. A couple sessions seemed to meander aimlessly as a result. Also - I know it's probably more pricey, but it would be nice to be there just a bit later in the year. 100 degree heat every day was a bit much.

As my first ProcureCon I learned a lot and made some great connections that will help me in my own procurement career. I truly think you get what you put into it and I tried to absorb some type of information from every speaker and every interaction I had.

The experience was great, we had a diverse group attend with strong presence of tech, for many of us it is like a high school reunion. Great conversations, great connections. Some of the things to improve: it important for the CPOs/Head of Procurement to actually meet with their peers, I ran into obvious cases where the attendee were representing themselves as CPOs and they were only head of a department UNDER the CPO. Diversity, we really need to be sensitive on how we prepare the panels, and all white male panel really affects the ability to get the message across when we are all focusing on the lack of diversity.

I didn’t feel as all presenters were adequately versed for the topics the wee covering
