The CIPSA flagship Annual Conference will relocate to the new Crown Convention Centre, a brand new addition to the evergrowing Crown complex in Melbourne.

For 2010, a fifth seminar stream focussed on public sector issues is planned, as are extra seminars, a longer programme and significantly enhanced networking and sponsorship opportunities structured in to the programme. The programme theme will continue to set the strategic professional agenda for procurement through both the keynote plenary sessions, while providing delegates with real practical deliverables and learning points through the multi-streamed tactical seminars. The annual CIPSA Procurement Professional Awards Dinner will continue to be held in the Grand Ballroom at Crown Palladium.
