ISM Conference 2008 - St Louis

Add comment May 2nd, 2008 David Bush - Iasta

I am leaving tomorrow for St Louis and this years ISM conference. This is one of the better conferences for procurement, with a large attendance and a traditional exhibit hall. Generally, there are about 2000 attendees and over 100 vendors. As in years past, eSourcing and supply management dominate the vendor capabilities. In years past, over 30% of the booths have been supply management software companies, this year is very much the same.

Obviously, there is a strong demand from both the attendees and the vendors in this space. The benefits are very tangible and desired, hence the continual presence.

Iasta has an exhibit booth (#328) and I look forward to meeting as many practitioners, as possible. Please make an effort to come by and introduce yourself to me or our other executive leadership.
