Meet with Your Peers

Supply chains and direct procurement get plenty of coverage, but the pandemic had substantial impact on indirect spend. Many expenses, such as travel and office supplies, were severely cut, and companies are establishing "new normals" for those budgets. Add lower negotiated rates on services and real estate leases plus higher transportation and logistics costs and you have a changed landscape.

Join Manufacturers Alliance and your procurement peers to discuss strategic options for indirect spend. Delve into best practices, technology tools, tips on savings, and category optimization.

This hybrid event will be of interest to executives in procurement, sourcing, logistics, supply chain, and finance. It is ideally suited to managers of indirect spend categories such as fleet, travel, commodities, facilities, consumables, IT, and MRO.
