About
Over two days, we’ll address the biggest sourcing challenges and solutions, with a focus on cross-commodity learning and collaborative approaches. Expect honest discussions grounded in real-world case studies, perspectives from across value chains, and a spotlight on practical actions.
What sets this event apart
Off the record
Held under the Chatham House rule to promote candid conversation that drives real progress. The hard questions, uncomfortable truths and reality of mistakes. This isn’t a PR platform. It is a space for genuine dialogue.
No PowerPoint or scripts
No presentations, no jargon, no scripted panels. All sessions are structured for dynamic discussion and audience participation.
Networking that works
We cap attendance to ensure an intimate forum that brings together the right stakeholders. Every conversation is relevant. Every meeting is valuable. And every connection matters.
Practical, hands-on format
You won’t be sat in a large room listening for two-days. There’s a major focus on audience participation, interaction and problem solving. Come prepared with questions, ideas, solutions and be ready to get involved.
