Best Practices Workshops
The Best Practices Workshops, modeled on the International Executive Purchasing
Roundtables, are held annually. We invite the second-level executive — those that
report to the Roundtable attendee, for the most part — to this two-and-a-half-day
forum for best practices sharing and small-group focus sessions. Attendance is through
invitation by CAPS Research or nomination by the CPO.
