Gartner IT Sourcing, Procurement, Vendor & Asset Management Summit 2019 - London | Gartner Global Events | 16 September 2019 | InterContinental Hotel, 1 Waterview Dr, Greenwich Peninsula, London SE10 0TW, UK

Do you have the right IT services and products in your organization to achieve your business objectives? How are your sourcing and procurement processes evolving to stay relevant in the age of digital business? How quickly can you leverage the external technology market for new ideas and innovative solutions? How well are you positioned for your next critical IT services, software, SaaS, cloud contract negotiation?

Gartner IT Sourcing, Procurement, Vendor & Asset Management Summit is designed for strategic sourcing leaders, IT finance managers, procurement leaders, IT asset managers, and vendor management leaders. It is the most important annual gathering for IT professionals to enable the achievement of their organizations’ strategic and operational business objectives.

This year's summit will help provide you with the insights to transition from a tactical provider of a service—the skillful negotiation of a contract or the effective management of a vendor’s performance—to a strategic advisor helping deliver innovation, business value and growth – at speed.

Join us for our 7 track thought-leading sessions to help you:
• Negotiate better deals for IT services, software, SaaS, cloud and hybrid infrastructure
• Collaborate with IT vendors to reduce risk and achieve desired outcomes
• Improve financial transparency and strategies to optimize the costs & supply of IT services and products
• Manage IT assets throughout their lifecycle and prepare for software audits
• Foster collaboration between sourcing, procurement, asset management, IT finance and vendor management
