Ardent Partners is excited to announce the speaker lineup for our 4th annual CPO Rising procurement executive summit, which will return to the Harvard Club of Boston (Back Bay Clubhouse) on October 29 and 30 of this year. There will be some fresh faces, as well as some familiar names appearing this year, as we continue Ardent’s tradition of bringing together some of the brightest and most accomplished procurement leaders in the business.
