Corporate United’s SYNERGY 2008 conference is only a month away. Have you registered yet?

Noteworthy speakers, pertinent, stimulating topics, and networking with leading thinkers in the supply chain world combine year after year to make SYNERGY increasingly valuable to purchasing executives. The conference offers an unmatched opportunity for indirect procurement professionals; the purchasing manger of Konica Minolta Business Services claimed that last year’s event “enabled me to go back to the office and lead my team with a better understanding of what a Purchasing Department can accomplish.” As the longest-running indirect spend management conference in the nation, SYNERGY 2008 should not be missed.

The conference boasts speakers from such organizations as the Environmental Protection Agency, Cisco, Progressive Insurance, the Supply Chain Management Review, and Sallie Mae, among others. The in-depth presentations span topics from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to lean applications in supply chain to green procurement. Because of the outstanding content, SYNERGY 2008 qualifies for 11.5 continuing education units. For a full agenda and speaker detail, visit: www.corporateunited.com/synergy2008.
