21st Annual IT Procurement Summit

If you’re new to IT contracting or just want to get back to basics, then our IT Contracting Boot Camp is for you!  With a curriculum purposefully designed to provide those new to the profession with practical tips and tactics for negotiating a better deal with suppliers, this 7-hour interactive workshop will leave participants feeling informed, empowered, and excited about their future in technology procurement.   Sessions are hands-on, collaborative, and facilitated by some of the industry’s most engaging professionals.   Those completing all 7 sessions of the boot camp will receive formal recognition from CAUCUS as well as a commemorative gift memorializing their achievement.  Specifically, boot camp participants will:
