What participants say
Indirect procurement is a fascinating and incredibly diverse field, as highlighted during IPD24, where professionals showcased their unique ability to deeply understand the organizations they serve. Few departments have such broad exposure to senior management, making this profession truly distinctive. It's a career path that deserves recognition as an exceptional way to build business acumen and excel in stakeholder management.
The first apadua indirect procurement days (IPD) set new standards, both in terms of content and attendees. Small but nice, this event was beyond all existing gatherings in the community. High calibre attendees exchanged over trend setting topics in a very nice atmosphere and location. Although AI is becoming a buzzword in procurement as well, at the IPD it became much more tangible and ready to go! It was also confirmed that indirect procurement is a thrilling career path. Many thanks to the organisers of apadua!
The indirect procurement community needs its own summit. With this statement in mind, we started our first indirect procurement days in 2024. The first event was a huge success and we are committed to continue on the journey to give indirect procurement professionals and decision makers space to forge networks, share knowledge, and drive innovation.
The first apadua indirect procurement days were incredibly well-organized and provided great opportunities to exchange ideas and connect with others. I left the event with valuable takeaways and interesting insights on several topics that were discussed over these two days. The overall atmosphere was engaging and the scenery of Villa Rothschild couldn’t be more beautiful!
What a wonderful event in a gorgeous setting with like-minded procurement professionals who all have a passion for the indirect space. Not your typical procurement conference but so much more engaging with workshops and inspiring TedTalk like contributions. It's kind of telling that Gregory, Markus and the apadua team would choose this kind of setting. Well done to the team and I'd love to return. P.S. Never neglect your indirect spend!
