How is VISION EAST 2021 different from a virtual event?
While virtual events are easy and efficient, assembling in a safe and secure environment creates the necessary space to deepen relationships and expand thinking… creating trust and uncovering new ways of working. (Being in the center of NYC doesn’t hurt, either.)
In-person and ad-hoc
The best conversations are unplanned and spontaneous. "Bump into" your next peer mentor and solution innovator.
Interactive Sessions
Lectures be gone! Dive deep during roundtables with Procurement and TA peers plus vetted, innovative provider sponsors.
Cocktail Mixer
Experience a networking event like no other overlooking NYC in an open air NYC commercial penthouse with four outside decks.
FREE Tickets Available
