Extended early-bird discount

About the programme

The theme for this year's annual conference is 'Risky Business', addressing the strategic professional agenda for procurement in the keynote plenary sessions, while providing delegates with real practical deliverables and learning points through the multi-streamed tactical seminars. The 7th CIPSA Annual Conference also sees the introduction, for the first time, of a series of half-day pre-conference workshops, providing delegates with an even greater educational experience.

Networking events

Of course, a key benefit in attending a conference such as this is the opportunity it affords to network with your peers and suppliers of relevant goods and services.

Lunch on both days will be served buffet-style in the Purchasing Exchange, allowing delegates the opportunity to browse the booths, renew old acquaintances and make new ones.

At the conclusion of formal proceedings on Day 1, drinks will be served in the Purchasing Exchange for an hour after the conference sessions close, before delegates head over to Crown Palladium for the main evening’s entertainment, The 5th CIPS Australasia Procurement Professional Awards Dinner.

The Awards Dinner will be preceded by a cocktail function in the Crown Palladium Atrium.
