The Americas Procurement Congress event has been postponed until later in the year.

Following feedback from its network that has reported company-wide travel restrictions and health precautions related to the coronavirus, Procurement Leaders has postponed the Congress until September.

The event is set to bring together more than 300 of the region’s leading procurement leaders in order to determine how procurement can take its next big step to become a driving force of business performance. The event will offer two days of aspirational case studies, interactive discussions and informal peer to peer networking in Miami. There will be over 10 hours of networking opportunities, ask an expert sessions and achiever keynotes to share best practices.
