Premier global commerce event kicks off in
Sydney August 22-23
Procurement in Asia is about to get awesome. Following sold-out
events in the United States and Europe, SAP Ariba Live is headed
for Australia. The premiere global commerce conference will make
its third and final stop this year at the ICC Sydney August
22-23.
“Asia is in the midst of a significant transformation. Digital
technologies are enabling innovation that is fueling disruption and
redefining entire industries, and companies across the region are
fast embracing them,” said Ben Redwine, General Manager, SAP Ariba,
Asia Pacific Japan. “SAP Ariba Live is a unique event where
companies can explore the latest trends and learn to leverage them
to transform their operations, create business advantage and drive
positive social change.”
The Power of Purpose
All businesses want to do well. But they also want to do good.
And procurement can play a critical role in making this happen.
Beyond just saving money, procurement has the power to help improve
lives. Leveraging business networks for instance, they can gain
insights and transparency across the supply chain that enables them
to detect and eradicate slavery. Ensure that fair wages are being
paid and stamp out poverty. And create opportunities for diverse
suppliers to eliminate inequality.
As an athlete, Cathy Freeman, Australian Indigenous Olympic
champion, winner of the gold medal in the 400 meter at the 2000
Olympic Games in Sydney and proud Kuku Yalanji woman, was on a
mission to win. But she has always understood the power of purpose
and serving a higher cause. Today, Ms. Freeman concentrates her
time on making a difference with others through the Cathy Freeman
Foundation, which is dedicated to helping Australia’s Indigenous
children experience their potential in school and beyond.
And she will be among the blue-chip roster of speakers at SAP
Ariba Live. Ms. Freeman will take the mainstage for a fireside chat
to talk about her foundation and the power of purpose.
Making Procurement Awesome
Executives and practitioners from across procurement, supply
chain, finance, IT, sales and marketing are lining up to attend the
two-day forum where they will discover how they can tap into
business networks and the cloud-based applications underlying them
to discover, connect and collaborate with a global network of
partners more efficiently and effectively than ever before.
The event will feature leading companies from Australia and
beyond who will share their insights and strategies for successful
digital transformations, including:
- Coca-Cola Amatil
- DuluxGroup
- Fortescue Metals Group
- Muru Office Supplies
- Compass Group
- Bunzl
Attendees will also get a view into emerging technologies such
as artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of
Things and blockchain and the impact they will have on the function
going forward.
From informative keynotes and more than 65 practitioner-led
breakout sessions to informal networking opportunities, there’s
something for everyone at SAP Ariba Live. Registration for the
can’t-miss event is open today. To reserve your place, visit
