positive meeting people, sometimes for the first time, face to face and meeting old friends so very much looking forward to it.<\/p>\n<p>Angus Warren: I think it&#8217;s great because the networks will be established. I think a lot of people, particularly cross sector the only time they physically met was at the Procurex event so having people together again will make a really big difference.<\/p>\n<p>Gordon Beattie: Please do come along it will be such a great event.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve had a few of these in person events over the last year and every one has been fantastic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s now just three weeks to go until the Scottish Government 17th National Procurement Conference returns live in venue at the SEC Glasgow on\u00a0Thursday 27 October 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":634,"featured_media":4115,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[582,15],"tags":[583,620,360],"class_list":["post-4196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-conference","category-procurex","tag-conference","tag-event","tag-procurex"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Conference countdown - three weeks to go!
