How is this event different from a virtual event?

While virtual events are easy and efficient, assembling in a safe and secure environment creates the necessary space to deepen relationships and expand thinking… creating trust and uncovering new ways of working. (Being at The Ritz-Carlton, overlooking the Pacific Ocean doesn’t hurt, either.)

In-person and ad-hoc

The best conversations are unplanned and spontaneous. "Bump into" your next peer mentor and solution innovator.

Interactive Sessions

Lectures be gone! Dive deep during roundtables with Procurement and TA peers plus vetted, innovative provider sponsors.

Cocktails & Dinner

Experience a networking event like no other overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton.

FREE Tickets Available

We have a limited supply of free tickets. Act now and secure your seat today.

Just Ask Our Members

A Luxury Coastal Retreat

When California residents seek reprieve from the city, they head to the northern coastline, drawing energy from the scenic beaches, untouched nature and fresh air. Set amid this tranquility is The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, a blufftop resort overlooking the ocean. Discounted room block available.

Procurement and Talent Acquisition - Competing or Complementary Objectives?

Both the Procurement and Talent Acquisition silos are major stakeholders when it comes to non-direct employee management. However, at times their competing objectives may conflict. Procurement is maximizing spend under management and driving price discounts, where TA is trying to secure top talent in competitive markets. Learn how to balance these competing objectives and drive internal customer satisfaction.
Takeaways: *Learn key objectives of both Procurement and Talent Acquisition. *Speak to internal customer expectations (C-suite = cost savings, Hiring manager = access to resources). *Learn how to build collaborative cross-functional teams.
