Absolutely, I’ve been involved in both scenarios. In my current role and in previous positions, I actively participate in dedicated conferences such as the Procurement and Supply Chain Live Event, Procurement Stars, and similar industry gatherings.
Additionally, I make it a point to attend conferences associated with trade shows, especially in the food industry, such as Food Ingredients Europe or IFT in Chicago. These conferences cover a spectrum of topics including trends, procurement strategies, and supply chain insights.
