Big Tech Collaboration – Register for the next SIG-Procurement online meeting on 4 November

The Special Interest Group for Procurement (SIG-Procurement) invites you to their second meeting, which will take place virtually on 4 November, 14:00-15:30 (CEST).

This iteration of the SIG-Procurement sessions will focus on the topic: Collaboration with Big-Tech Suppliers.

Throughout the meeting, we will discuss the suppliers landscape, and share best practice amongst participating NRENs and institutions. Our aim is to discuss potential pitfalls, and strategies, when engaging with Big-Tech suppliers. Experts from our community will deliver short presentations, sharing their experiences to enrich the discussion.

The session will be guided by a Mentimeter assessment to identify specific suppliers to focus on. The meeting will also include a space for open discussions on shared experiences, and strategic approaches for successful engagements.
