Sourcing Decisions, an AI and Customer Experience Conference, Returns to Toronto in April

“Sourcing Decisions was founded to really fuel knowledge sharing through real-world examples and experience. We are not here to forecast long-term adoption models for various technologies; what outsourcing customers want is real insight from both peers and suppliers that is useful today,” says Kirk Laughlin, Managing Director of Next Coast Media.

Sourcing Decisions is a full-day conference and will feature presentations, panel discussions, supplier exhibit area, a buyer-driven inquiry session (BDIS), luncheon, and a closing sponsors’ reception. Registration is open now.

Attendees can expect to gain the following benefits:

• High-caliber executive level presentations and panel discussions
• Key focus on the most disruptive forces in North America sourcing for technology services – innovations in robotics process automation, artificial intelligence, fintechs and the changing landscape of customer experience tools and solutions.
• The right audience: Our gathering is designed to deliver value for the senior executives determining the course of sourcing and procurement in the post IT/BPO era. (Nearly 60% of the attendees profile at 2017’s event represented corporate and government customer organizations.)
• The right venue: We continue to hear rave reviews on the St. Andrews Club location (now known as Vantage Venues), since holding our conference there last year – so we’re back again!
• Americas’ orientation: Given the strength of alliance partner, Nearshore Americas, our conference provides a ‘pan-American’ perspective on leveraging the strength of nearshore partnerships in Latin America and the Caribbean.

• Martin Boyer / Chief Information Officer & Vice President at The Greater Toronto Airports Authority
• Fabiano Rosa / Director, PwC Canada
• Ryan De Borger / Citi Global Strategic Partnership Program Lead
