Thank you for attending Procurex Scotland Engage 2020 and the 16th Annual Scottish Government National Procurement Conference
We would like to thank all of our sponsors, exhibitors, partners and delegates for taking part in the first ever virtual Procurex Scotland and Scottish Government National Procurement Conference. With almost 40 sessions and 35+ exhibition booths, it was a busy day for all involved.
For those who missed any sessions, or didn’t manage to visit all of the exhibitor booths to collect information, the platform is still open and all content is still available for you to watch in your own time (until 26 November).
We were delighted to put on our first ever virtual Procurex Scotland event, which allowed delegates, sponsors, exhibitors and partners the opportunity to interact and keep up to date while live event restrictions are still in place. We hope you will take advantage of the platform being open for 30 days and look forward to welcoming you back to a live event in 2021.
Once again hosted alongside Procurex Scotland, this hugely important one-day conference provided attendees with an invaluable insight into the latest developments and opportunities taking place across Scotland.
