OVERVIEW

The spotlight is upon our community!

In today’s networked world, contracting and relationship competency have become core to business performance. The IACCM EMEA Conference offers opportunities to hear from world-leading companies and organisations, and to network with other high-performing practitioners and experts from the world of contracts, sourcing and in-house legal.

To further enrich your experience in 2010, we are delighted to announce that we have developed a partnership with Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON), whereby we have developed ‘a conference within a conference’. As a result, you gain massively enhanced networking opportunities, plus the chance to participate in either your specialist IACCM event, or to join the wider, cross-functional SSON audience in their sessions.

As The Economist recently observed, many organisations are not good at defining and managing relationships. Successful relationships demand clarity, collaboration and a readiness to adapt to change. These characteristics are right at the forefront for an organisation like IACCM – which is busy defining the practices and approaches that lead to successful trading relationships. By combining the thought leadership of SSON and IACCM, we bring our delegates the insights and ideas that equip them to drive change and ensure success within their organisation and beyond.

This year's event offers you a dedicated two and a half-day contracts and sourcing conference within a more extensive SSON event. As a result, you will gain the opportunity to engage with 250 IACCM members, while also interacting with 600+ senior representatives from related functions such as Finance, Operations and IT.

Don't miss this chance to learn and contribute to the exciting debate over best practice and next practice for the contracts, commercial and relationship management community!
