2013 NAEP Annual Meeting: The Magic of Collaboration

Procurement Professionals are making a difference in shaping their institutions success. The theme for our 2013 Annual Meeting is “The Magic of Collaboration and Partnerships,” and we are motivated to combine the energy of the best practices in procurement innovation with the core proficiencies needed to bring those best practices to life.

There is a great deal of focus on the global economies and the impact on the larger global community, but the most effective community building begins with the collaborations that happen in your own back yard, on your campuses, and at your institutions. The economic challenges of recent years have brought greater attention to the need to collaborate and innovate. To weather this fiscal storm, your peers and colleagues have found new and creative ways to innovate and collaborate. We are highlighting those best practices, successes, and even missteps and failures that can be shared with other procurement professionals at our 92nd Annual Meeting & Exposition in Orlando, Florida.

This event is designed to tap and fully capture the diverse array of expertise and wisdom amongst our Membership and other professionals allied by the Higher Education industry. Most attendees will be purchasing professionals for two-and-four-year institutions in the public, private, research, K-12 school districts, and healthcare arenas. Other disciplines represented include HR, IT, facilities, food, and auxiliary services.
