Recommended Procurement Webinars August 24-28: Agile Networks, Lost Transformation, Rebooting the Enterprise
August hasn’t been as busy as June and July were, but the pace of new events is already picking up for September. There are already 12 events on the calendar for next month, half of which I added this week. If you are also a fan of Art of Procurement, run by my colleague Philip Ideson, you’ll want to SAVE THE DATE for AOP Mastermind Live: October 6-7.
If you are planning your webinar schedule beyond this week, I recommend “Reach Gen Z Through Social Media with Sara Wilson” hosted by Harvard Business Review on September 11th.
BTW: If you haven’t already, sign up for our mailing list to be sure you get my weekly recommendations in your inbox each Monday.

In this event, Amol Jagdale, Associate Director of Global Delivery at GEP, Paul Blake, Director of Product Marketing at GEP, and Ceri Jones, Editor of Supply Management, will consider the current state of procurement, discuss new trends and ongoing challenges associated with the pandemic, and provide advice about how to strengthen the supply chain in the years to come.
