Upcoming events

In March and April I will be taking part in a couple of procurement related events. First off, the ERA annual procurement conference, to be held in Trier on March 20th and 21st. I have not visited Trier in many years and am very much looking forward to this one. On this conference I will be taking part in a panel discussing the Public Procurement Data Space and the Procurement for Buyers Portal.

Then in April I will be taking the Copenhagen metro to the other side of town to participate in the EU Public Procurement anno 2025 - Are the rules fit for purpose? conference organised by my good friend Carina Risvig Hamer at the University of Copenhagen on April 23rd and 24th. For this one my task is to speak about procedures, what exactly I have a bit over three months to figure it out. At the time of writing I am inclined to talk about the need (or not) for special procedures and perhaps how we should buy services.
