World class events go beyond people, place, and time. If they are planned for and hosted with purpose, they can take on a culture or ‘vibe’ of their own. The more unique and cohesive the event experience is, the more impactful and lasting it will be in the minds of attendees - as well as those who help to run the event.

In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, Kelly Barner is joined by Aurelie Teyssier, Ivalua’s Vice President of Corporate Marketing, and Aurelie Lucas, Ivalua’s Senior Marketing Director for EMEA & APAC. They play a critical role in planning for and hosting Ivalua NOW events in Europe and the United States.

In this episode, recorded just before Ivalua NOW 2025 will begin, they share behind-the-scenes details about what makes these events truly unique:

• Getting the right venue, and making sure the surroundings for the event match and even build upon the desired ‘vibe’
• Balancing fun experiences and serious professional development in a way that delights and surprises guests
• What surprises are in store for attendees of Ivalua NOW 2025 in Paris, France and New Orleans, Louisiana
