Networking Lounge, and Sessions November 11 to 12
BOCA RATON, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
The Global Sourcing Forum + Expo, the premier industry event focusing on
sourcing, today announced that its renowned Expo will have two days of
additional sessions, focusing on sourcing locations, competitive differentiators
in the global economy, as well as tips for buyers, sourcing locations and
others.
The Expo for the Global Sourcing Forum will open on Wednesday, November 11, at
11:00 a.m. and will run through November 12, offering networking opportunities
at the Global Connections Lounge as well as the chance to meet almost 100
exhibitors and representatives from 25 countries and regional showcases for
Latin America, Central & Eastern Europe, Far East Asia, and India. Attendees who
qualify can attend the Expo for free, by registering by November 10th. An
extensive conference covering all of the strategy, foundation, and best
practices aspects of driving an effective sourcing plan and featuring world
renowned speakers is also available at additional cost.
Among the topics addressed at the Expo sessions will be the large number of
emerging sourcing locations, how buyers and suppliers are working more closely
together in an increasingly homogeneous global economy, and what qualifications
and factors both buyers and suppliers should consider before entering into a
relationship.
GSFE Chairman and Global Equations CEO Anupam Govil has addressed the emergence
of new locations for sourcing and how these locations can and should
differentiate themselves. Mr. Govil`s points will appear in an article on
Nearshore Americas, a media website dedicated to original and independent
reporting on outsourcing in the Americas, that will be published concurrently
with the GSFE`s opening. Among the factors that Mr. Govil recommends new
sourcing locations consider are a long term strategy, similar to what India
started developing in the 1980s and which led to its current prosperity; a
system of continual creation, re-engineering, and re-modeling of services, using
the tech industry as a model; and the importance of finding a niche and defining
it.
"The GSFE is a multifaceted show, offering learning sessions, networking
opportunities, and a comprehensive showcase that provide the most current,
powerful representation of today`s global sourcing environment," said David
Etzler, CEO of OutsourceWorld, which sponsors the GSFE. "We have developed the
Expo as a networking and meeting vehicle, in which people can experience world
locations, visit with a wide assortment of companies, and get a sense of the
current economic and business trends driving our industry. We are pleased to
offer free access to the Expo Hall to qualified individuals as this adds to the
networking and business continuity aspect of the show, which is designed to be a
place of commerce and opportunity as well as learning."
