Emma Giles

"CIPS futures is for all procurement professionals. If you want to listen to the future you can, if you want to ask about the future you can, and if you want to participate in the future of procurement then this is the start of that journey."

Christopher Haighton
Fortescue Zero Limited
"A very professionally held and presented event, at the QEII; overlooking the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye. I took the location to be very symbolic, as the only way to have some influence on the future is listening and interacting with industry leaders (like parliament), whilst the Eye represents a perpetual continuous journey. This event helps give some vision on where the destination of that journey is expected to be going in the not to distance future!"
