Asia Pacific (Japan) Sourcing Leadership Exchange

Our team found the TPI SLE conference to be invaluable. It is by far the best forum about sourcing that any of us have attended. There was meaningful content in the conference sessions, coupled with ample time to network and ask questions of peer companies. Anyone interested in sourcing — from beginner to veteran — should make the time to attend.

The TPI Sourcing Leadership Exchange provided practical, useful sourcing management information, which our organization immediately put to use. Hearing directly from other TPI customers provided an invaluable frame of reference for working with our service provider.

The TPI Sourcing Leadership Exchange was especially useful in helping prepare our organization for the transition to outsourced data center services. Our participants found the SLE conference to be an outstanding educational and networking experience.

Without a doubt, the TPI Sourcing Leadership Exchange delivers relevant, practical information and practices for sourcing professionals. There is a great blend of expertise that can be applied "here and now" combined with a focus towards future innovation and anticipating "what's next.” It's also a top-notch opportunity to network with peers from other companies to share best practices and lessons learned. All-in-all, a fantastic event!”
