About the conference

Advisory Board

Blue Ocean, the region’s largest knowledge empowerment enterprise presents its 3rd International Procurement Conference, 2016 – an annual gathering of eminent logistics and supply chain experts who think globally but act locally.

UAE is fast becoming the logistics hub of the world vying with Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Manchester for top honours. What the country needs today is a new generation of logistics leaders: dynamic, skillful, innovative and tech-savvy who can effectively bridge the existing gap between knowledge and infrastructure in the region.

Excellence in supply chain means moving beyond costs and creating better products with minimum damage to the environment. An integrated strategy to procurement and supply chain, remains central to our theme this year.
