Designing an effective CW Program
Miramar I
There is a lot of information available on how to run and manage contingent workforce programs, but relatively little on how to design the structure of programs. This breakout session will be advantageous for buyers ranging from program managers to VP level and above. The breakout session will explore frameworks for helping to make decisions on:
- How to analyze the components that make up a program
- What to consider when managing the efforts of an MSP and/or staffing vendors
- Whether to have a hybrid model and how
- Whether to use a service provider to run a contingent workforce program

What our members say...
ClubVMSA never fails to deliver. The intimate setting in which the conference is held is ideal for building connections with partners, networking and brainstorming.
Dani Crouch
I prefer to attend VMSA conferences for the attractive locations and the smaller attendee list the events offer. There is a limited number of attendees which allows you to truly network and collaborate which creates more meaningful connections.
Tara Sawyer
From the engaging panel discussions to the interactive breakouts, every aspect of the event was meticulously planned and executed to perfection. The opportunity to network with industry professionals and learn from experts in the field was truly invaluable.
Sam Kapoor
Being together with people from across the workforce ecosystem who are candid, honest, and transparent about how to solve business problems – Well done ClubVMSA!
John Healy
It’s such a collaborative atmosphere and the positive energy is palpable! You have honest discussions and exchange ideas, while challenging each other in a respectful and supportive manner.
Delia Devere
ClubVMSA provides the opportunity to gain new perspectives and solutions to the challenges we all face on a daily basis, in a no pressure environment.
Tony Gagliardi
In an industry chock full of massive conferences, which often feel impersonal and overwhelming, this event blew me away. The quality of the workshops, discussions and panels was fantastic, and I found myself in non-stop conversation with really intelligent peers. This will be part a permanent addition to my annual conference schedule.
Lizzie Parnell
ClubVMSA does a fantastic job of connecting buyers and suppliers in a setting that makes everyone feel comfortable. Allowing for easy discussion about topics enterprise buyers don’t have time to inform each and every single supplier during the year. 100% recommend not only ClubVMSA events but also Jim Coughlin’s weekly interviews for Today’s Buyer every Tuesday.
Ryan Blacklock
This was my first time at VMSA and it absolutely shattered my preconceived notions of what a conference is and what it should be. The smaller, more intimate guest list made everything feel much less overwhelming. VMSA really opened up doors I didn’t know were closed at other big named conferences.
