How is VISION WEST 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 at The Ritz-Carlton, overlooking the Pacific Ocean 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.
Cocktails & Dinner
Experience a networking event like no other overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton.
FREE Tickets Available
Sponsors have free promo codes. Reach out and touch someone (or ask us) for your favorite sponsors' FREE promo code.
Discounted Rooms
Rooms at The Ritz-Carlton are typically $1,500 per night. Enjoy steep room block discounts at $199/night (while supplies last for Enterprise ONLY)
LinkedIn Live
Keynotes will be LIVE broadcasted on LinkedIn to reach thousands of Talent Leaders around the world.
