PASA 2020 Events Schedule & Sponsorship Opportunities

Procurement professionals working in one of the fastest growing sectors in the economy, aged and home care, face a unique set of challenges – the three H’s: Providing a hotel experience combined with the facilities of a hospital, with the feel of the home. All delivered at the best possible value. This not only presents challenges forprocurement, but also for their suppliers as well.

Building on the five previous successful Aged Care procurement since 2015, this two day conference will address these unique challenges, providing a platform for procurement professionals to learn from each other, and from industry experts, while developing a tangible network with their peers and many of the leading suppliers in the aged and home care sector.

The btTB-GBTA Conference and exhibition brings together the largest community of procurement travel category managers and representatives from the business travel supply chain in the region, for two days of:

• Learning from outstanding expert presenters, facilitators and fellow buyers through a mix of
  presentation and highly interactive sessions
• Exploring new ideas in pursuit of travel management excellence
• Networking with peers and key stakeholders from both buyer and supplier organisations

The conference hosts a significant trade show featuring leading providers in the business travel supply chain, providing buyer delegates with the opportunity to explore potential new product and service offerings and suppliers with the opportunity to identify and engage with potential new customers.

The title of the 2020 Conference will be ‘Travel Interactive’ with a significantly increased emphasis on driving interactivity between buyerbuyer, buyer- supplier and even supplier-supplier throughout the event.

ConfeX is the name we give to our general procurement events, however they are far from run of the mill. PASA ConfeX’s always have a strong theme that looks to challenge traditional procurement thinking, while helping procurement professionals address their most pressing challenges.

The 2019 theme –Breaking the Mould – attracted over 70 procurement professionals for a day packed with outstanding presentations, panels and interactive mini-workshops.

The CPO Exchange provides invited heads of procurement with the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing, informative couple of days in the company of their peers and a number of leading suppliers of products, tools or services. For
supplier partners the CPO Exchange provides an unparalleled opportunity to meet with a wide range of CPOs both in pre-scheduled meetings and during the various networking functions over the two days.

Invited CPO’s attend on a ‘hosted buyer’ basis, whereby attendance and accommodation are provided free of charge.

Employing the same model as the CPO Exchange, with hosted buyer and pre-scheduled meetings, the Aged Care CPO Exchange will bring together heads of procurement from approximately 25-30 of the region’s leading aged care providers for two days of learning, sharing, problem solving and networking.

Invited CPO’s attend on a ‘hosted buyer’ basis, whereby attendance and accommodation are provided free of charge.

The PASA Premier ConfeX is the ANZ regions biggest and best conference for procurement professionals and those who supply them or provide services to them. Always developed with a cutting edge theme, the conference programme
challenges procurement to adopt new ways of thinking.

The 2020 conference will see a multi-stream programme of seminars and mini-workshops and will of course include the 2020 PASA Procurement Awards.

ProcureTECH is the only event in the region focussed purely on technology solutions that enable and assist the procurement function. A prime feature of the event is of course the technology showcase, where attendees have the opportunity to view a wide variety of solutions at the same time and in the same place. While delegates will have the option to pay a fee to attend the conference, the vast majority will attend on the Free ‘Hosted Buyer’ basis, whereby they commit to a fixed number of pre-scheduled meetings with participating solutions providers.

If you are a provider of a procurement automation solution then this event is not to be missed. The main reason most delegates attend is for the opportunity to view solutions like yours.
