After many strong entries and much deliberation, we’re thrilled to announce this year’s Nigels finalists – with the winners set to be decided at the upcoming PASA Premier ConfeX.
The finalists will present their case studies live in person at the number one procurement conference in the ANZ region, with audience members then casting their votes to decide who takes home a trophy.
Want to join in? There’s still time to secure your ticket for ConfeX, but get in quick! The event takes place at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse Conference Centre on 15-16 October.

Winning a Nigel is a prestigious recognition of best practice procurement, bolstered by the fact that the winners are voted by delegates at the PASA annual Premier ConfeX event.
Congratulations to each of our finalists. We look forward to your presentations at this year’s ConfeX!
