Was pleased with the diversity of the event. not only from topics but of the attendees, the attendees were interactive and very open to networking in general. On top of that, I've yet to be to an event in a number of years where the attendees actually stayed the whole three days. I mean, they could have jumped off and gone to a golf course or done something else. I mean, the resort was spectacular and there's plenty to go and see, but the attendees were really committed, staying the full three days and participating and sharing knowledge. It was really just all around a very excellent event.

I, I think it was a good first conference in person during the pandemic for me. I do feel like it. A lot of the sessions were very similar, so they seemed redundant. A lot of the the suppliers that were there offered the same type of technologies. There's really no variety. And I also feel like the, the half day on the last day doesn't really work well. I, I feel like three full days is better just because so many people leave either the night before or very early on the last day to go back home because they don't feel like it's worth it and then a lot of the sessions are empty. So it doesn't make for a good last day for the attendees or the speakers. So that's my overall impression.

Great opportunity to network and share challenges and best practices.
What did you like best about the event?
The sessions geared toward roundtable information sharing were most beneficial for me. Appreciated the dialog and opportunity to share and discuss real world situations.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
This was my first ProcureCon event so I don't have point of reference to anything done in the past. I think they did a good job bringing back in person engagement. My only minor complaint is how many suppliers have cold called because my name was on the attendee list. I understand the need to have sponsors but wondering if there is a way to rethink how info is shared to focus a little more on practitioner engagement.

The best part of the event was the networking with the wonderfully diverse group of attendees.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
The organizers could improve on the breakout sessions. A little more detail on what they were about and the locations would have been helpful.

ProcureCon Indirest West was a good event at a great place but I'm not sure it was well suited for our business.
What did you like best about the event?
The location was spectacular, the event space was nice and the staff was great to work with. We enjoyed meeting those we engaged with along with the other vendors attending the event.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
I think the event was well managed but I just don't think the audience was the best for our business leaving little to no ROI for us in particular.

OK for my 1st in-person conference during the pandemic
What did you like best about the event?
I like that it was relatively small with fewer overall attendees. That made it easier to meet other people and network
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Have more variety in the sessions, and make the conference a full three days so more people stay until the end.

My time at Procure Con was very beneficial. I learned a lot from my fellow attendees and from the various sessions, it was very thought provoking and I took down a lot of notes for things that I would like to do with my team in the future. So I think that overall the different things that I learned were very beneficial. Not to mention my interactions with the various services and software companies that came and had booths at the event. I will be purchasing at least one of the different Softwares that I saw there.

What could the organizers do to improve the event?
I think having more open social events instead of having booth only meet ups would be a nice way to meet more of the attendees.

It was great to be back in person with so many procurement professionals. Overall the event was well organized and the venue was amazing. We will most likely be sponsoring again next year. My only critical feedback is that we weren't able to scan the badges very well because the QR codes on the attendee badges were printed on the back of the badges and the QR codes rubbed off. We were also told we would get a list of attendees with their email addresses afterward and we got a list with no email addresses and only some phone numbers.
What did you like best about the event?
All of the attendees. There were many professionals that are in our target audience.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Communicate better about what lead detail we would get after the event. Also make sure that the badge scanning process worked correctly.

I certainly valued ProcureCon bringing people back together. The small, more collaborative sessions offered an outstanding opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences.
What did you like best about the event?
Reconnecting with my peers and other industry professionals. It has been far too long and the distance grown too wide.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Overall I believe the event was well organised and managed well. If there was an area to improve, it would be to respond to what we have lacked as a result of Covid, the personal engagement. I believe the breakout sessions, conducted in a round table, were more productive than the larger panels.

Opportunities to hear and share procurement hot topics with peers. Great networking opportunity.

It was a really nice resort and facility. The solution zone had a lot of interesting vendors.

Test the hotel AV before exhibitors get in. The lights weren't working above us. Also, the stickers activity made participants too into the game instead of learning about our services.
