The semi-annual event will feature the most current topics in the world of sourcing and outsourcing, including procurement BPO, strategic sourcing and supply management. Through more than a decade of working with hundreds of leading companies on procurement initiatives, ICG Commerce understands today's executives are expecting more savings than ever -- savings they can measure in terms of earnings -- that increase year after year. Drawing from deep domain expertise, ICG Commerce executives will share experience and best practices around strategic sourcing and procurement outsourcing, high-impact initiatives that can enhance a company's performance and significantly improve its bottom line.
Jeff Gallant, vice president of business development, will present "Beyond Sourcing: How to Drive Additional Total Cost Savings Year After Year" on October 19 from 3:30-4:20 p.m. His presentation will explore how companies can identify opportunities to improve value in supplier agreements and continue to reduce costs on an ongoing basis.
Jason Gilroy, vice president of outsourcing for ICG Commerce, will participate in a procurement outsourcing roundtable at the conference on October 20 at 1:30 p.m. The panel also will feature an executive from a leading telecommunications services company currently engaged with ICG Commerce in a procurement outsourcing initiative. Panelists will discuss best practices, the pros and cons of procurement outsourcing, and future innovations in the space.
"The Sourcing Leadership conference provides an excellent forum for executives to identify and discuss new innovations and practical approaches for reducing company costs, and ICG Commerce is pleased to be among the group of experts participating in this year's event," said Gilroy.
