The largest independent procurement event in Australia & New Zealand.

With a highly relevant and cutting-edge theme, this event challenges attendees to adopt new ways of thinking and the latest procurement practices.
2025 PASA Theme: Efficiency. Collaboration. Transparency.
The key to procurement success in 2025 and 2026?
What are the key challenges facing procurement leaders in 2025 throughout Australia & New Zealand? What are the common factors we will have to navigate to succeed for our stakeholders and ourselves?
The PASA theme for 2024 was ‘Responsible Procurement’ and how we balance the growing demands for stronger ESG inputs (and outcomes) with a clear commercial agenda to assure delivery in a volatile world and still deliver value for money in an inflationary environment.
The key to success in 2024 was centred around prioritisation it felt. Having the confidence to hold mature discussions with stakeholders asking, “what’s first then, what is key?” not, how we can justify resources to address a very broad ESG agenda?
For 2025, some other clues seem to be emerging to help; becoming more efficient and streamlined, working as a team more, and operating with much greater transparency and oversight as the norm.
Throughout all PASA research on a theme for 2025, a consistent message from procurement leaders emerged articulating this triple threat of increasing efficiency & effectiveness, forging greater collaborations with all stakeholders and building transparency for everyone:
Procurement leaders that address these three challenges proactively in future will succeed. Every contribution in the programme below will address some aspect of this triple theme either directly or indirectly.

Of course, last year, at this iconic sporting venue, the home of The Melbourne Cup, hundreds of delegates got the chance to hear all about the big race and get a selfie with the actual million dollar gold trophy itself. Maybe this year too? With maybe an additional trophy as well?
You could even WIN your own trophy through THE NIGELS Awards 2025
