The shift from COVID response to recovery is clear to me in the events recommended below as well as the other events I’ve just added to the events calendar.

If you are planning your procurement webinar schedule beyond this week, I recommend “The Role of AI in Employee Empowerment and Optimization” from Harvard Business Review on November 19th at 12n ET.
