ProcureCon started as a single conference in 2001—a direct materials purchasing event for manufacturing companies. Procurement has changed drastically since then, growing more and more important in companies’ corporate structure. ProcureCon has grown right alongside the industry into a series of events that addresses upcoming trends and challenges across specific category needs.
Our attendees ask, and we listen.
First, they asked for an event that fit their busy schedules. So in 2011, the ProcureCon Indirect event split into Indirect West and Indirect West to give procurement practitioners a choice to attend in the fall or winter. These events are big picture, senior-level, strategy-setting educational and networking events that cut across all industry verticals.
At these events, attendees wanted to dive deeper; they asked for more content specific to the complex categories they manage. So ProcureCon launched category events for Marketing, IT, Travel, Contingent Labor, MRO, and more (our list keeps growing each year!).
Our events are built on our community’s feedback – from agenda, to structure, to scheduling. It’s truly a place for procurement practitioners to come together and learn from one another.
We’ve always believed in putting you—the practitioner—at the center of everything we do. While others might focus on membership fees or flashy trends, we’ve remained steadfast in our mission to empower and support you. ProcureCon was built by practitioners, for practitioners, and throughout our history, we’ve listened to your needs to create experiences that deliver real value.
25 years ago, ProcureCon set out to create a dedicated space for procurement leaders to come together, learn, and share best practices. Where every voice is heard and valued. What started as a small gathering of forward-thinking professionals has grown into the industry’s leading event for indirect procurement, championing innovation and collaboration within the procurement community.
