Why? General procurement solutions lack the unique procurement workflow, logistics management and meeting-level analytics - all necessary components of meeting spend management. The event will focus on how to leverage this large, untapped spend category to realize immediate savings. Hear experts discuss best practices, tips and real life experiences. Discover how to: -- Save up to 30% on your meeting spend; -- Leverage the buying power of 400 of the Fortune 500 companies to get the best prices for meeting and event related services; -- Utilize the procurement practices you already know to better manage indirect spend; -- Create a preferred supplier program; and -- Establish policy controls over non-expert purchasers of differentiated services with highly variable prices. *T
