The next edition of the Procurement Director Forum, the annual national B2B event that has brought together the CPO business community, with workshops and in-depth meetings, will take place in Rimini from 13 to 15 November.

The three-day event dedicated to corporate purchasing will open with a conference curated by Nathalie Tocci, Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali, on the theme of “navigating the contradictions of an open and closed world”.

Over the past twenty years, going through security, economic, political and identity crises, the world has progressively closed itself and Europe has done the same. Today, defense often prevails over diplomacy, protectionism over free trade and authoritarianism challenges democracy. In this no man’s land, Italy and Europe must find a compass.
