This week we are running a “2 for 1” special with our weekly coverage of procurement industry webinars. The following events take place in the last 2 weeks of August. If you happen to be planning a little further out, I’m going to be onsite at NESCON (the New England Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition) on October 7th – so look for more about that event in the coming weeks. If you’re planning to attend, let me know so we can connect!

If you are planning your webinar schedule beyond this week, I recommend “Virtual Procurement and the C-Level CPO” from Tradeshift’s Roy Anderson on September 10th.

BTW: If you haven’t already, sign up for our mailing list to be sure you get my weekly recommendations in your Inbox each Monday (although there won’t be an email on August 26th).

Creating a ‘Single Source of Truth’ for Your Enterprise Spend (SpendHQ)

August 29th, 2pm ET

If you were going to have one piece of procurement technology to use at such a time, it would have to be spend analysis. Sure, there are huge opportunities for leveraging volume and consolidating contracts when you bring two like organizations together, but finding those opportunities is no small challenge. In this webinar, Anneliese Werner, Director of Procurement at Heartland Dental, and Constantine Limberakis, Director of Marketing at SpendHQ, will discuss how having a ‘single source of truth’ in spend analysis makes it possible for companies to achieve maximum value and efficiency.
