Periscope Holdings would like to thank everyone who participated in Evolve’12, our first annual procurement leadership conference. Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Roy Spence, kicked-off the event with an inspiring message on finding your purpose. With a purpose-driven approach, professionals can make a difference in government procurement.
Through educational sessions and collaboration, attendees exchanged forward-thinking procurement ideas. “As a company, the most valuable information comes directly from the mouths of industry professionals and our clients.” said Ken McFarland, Vice President, sales and marketing, Periscope Holdings. “Evolve was the perfect forum to freely exchange industry thoughts. We look forward to growing this event year after year.”
Periscope would also like to congratulate:
- The State of Arizona – Department of Administration, Periscope’s Customer of the Year recipient; and
- AHRC Nassau County, Periscope’s Implementation of the Year recipient
These entities refused to accept the status quo and evolved into industry procurement leaders. Their actions have created value within their organizations and communities.
A special thanks to Evolve Sponsors:
