Happy New Year! In addition to being the first recommended events post of 2022, this week also marks the start of the LinkedIn Creator Accelerator program I am a part of. I was one of 100 creators selected out of thousands of applicants. My project, focused on supplier diversity, will run for 10 weeks starting this week, with 4 new pieces of content each week. My interviews have been underway since before Christmas, so don’t miss out! You can find the content by following me here or searching for #SupplierDiversityDiscussions on LinkedIn.
If you are planning your webinar schedule beyond this week, I recommend Art of Procurement Digital Outcomes 2022 on March 8-10. Registration is open and free! Click here to sign up.
