For an in-person event to be a powerful gathering, the content and structure must reflect and support the needs of the attendee community. For procurement, this means actionable advice, connecting locally and globally, and keeping up with all of the changes they will have to face once the event is over.

In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, host Kelly Barner welcomes Alex Saric to the show. Alex is Ivalua's Chief Marketing Officer, which means he has the inside line on the upcoming Ivalua NOW in-person events.

Alex shares how procurement's ever-evolving role is driving the plans for Ivalua NOW:

• The advantage of meeting globally as well as having more targeted, localized events
• Why the company is actively bringing more CIOs to Ivalua NOW, and how that will influence topics and discussions
• Where this year's events will be taking place
