The GPAG Trends & Mentoring Conference is designed with a dual emphasis on professional development opportunities for the novice and for the experienced purchasing professional.  Classes will be a mixture of fundamentals of procurement and the latest trends and developments in public procurement. Novices and experienced purchasing professionals will also have an opportunity to meet together in formal and informal settings to discuss challenges and issues related to public procurement.

The format of this conference seeks to ensure the exchange of ideas and best practices within the purchasing profession.  This year, in addition to full conference registration, we are offering one day registrations.  The conference brochure can be viewed below.
