What are the effects of innovation and disruptive technology on procurement and business processes? How to harness the full potential of these effects? These will be the center of discussions at the country's largest and most established business-to-business conference convened by Pan-Asian Americans.
CelebrAsian Procurement & Business Conference, 'Smart World: How Businesses Transform to Meet Change,' on May 29 to June 1, at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
'Small and underdeveloped businesses across industries could grow, thrive and compete for exciting opportunities in new and emerging markets, here and abroad,' said Susan Au Allen, USPAACC National President & CEO. 'What they need are the answers to pressing questions that the seamless and intelligent exchange of information has created that is affecting sourcing and procurement. This conference will tackle the questions.'
CEOs, CPOs, CTOs, CIOs, Directors, Managers from Fortune powerhouses, business leaders, disruptors, top Pan-Asian American suppliers, governments and large nonprofit buyers will come from all over the country to connect with one another, for 3 days under one roof.
Through innovative and first-to-market programs, CelebrAsian, the national flagship conference of USPAACC (US Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce Education Foundation), will provide a vital platform for the exchange of market intelligence, best practices, proven strategies, and opportunities.
PepsiCo Chairman & CEO Indra K. Nooyi is Conference Chair. She will hold a fireside chat to share her journey from India to Fortune magazine's #2 'Most Powerful Woman in Business' at the Excellence Awards Dinner.
Leading the roster of corporate co-chairs is PepsiCo, whose continued partnership with USPAACC helps to advance growth among Pan-Asian American and small and underdeveloped businesses.
