Annual Forum
MONTREAL, QC
APRIL 21 – 24, 2024
TRANSFORMATION: ADAPTING TO THE ENVIRONMENT
AND CURRENT ECONOMIC CHALLENGES
Word from the Chair
I’m delighted and honoured to be chairing the Canadian Forum on Public Procurement 2024 in Montreal. It’s been 25 years since the first Canadian Forum was held in Quebec City. I can see that the enthusiasm and passion of procurement professionals is as strong as ever, and I’m delighted to be taking part.More than ever, the role of public procurement professionals is key to creating added value for customers. Managing risk and keeping on track during disruption is a driver for innovation. It is with great pride that I have joined a highly dynamic team to work on the creation and development of a program that includes diversity and inclusion. We all know that public procurement is transforming in many ways, which is why the theme of this year’s Forum, Transformation: Adapting to the Environment and Current Economic Challenges, is so timely. I’m very excited about it, because it will focus on innovation, integration, relationships, and our shared interest in dealing with change in public procurement. The challenges are great, so standardizing our best practices will be most beneficial and rewarding for us all.
I look forward to welcoming you to Montreal in April 2024. Join me in celebrating and sharing these 25 years of experience and exchange within our organizations.
Martine Côté, Chair of CPPC Forum 2024
