As summer turns to fall, like so many leaves will do here in New England, we at Ardent Partners wanted to take a moment to round up and highlight some of the major events we’ve got in store this autumn. With all the excitement over pumpkin spiced-this and cranberry-flavored that, it can be easy to overlook some of the truly valuable things in life — procurement webinars, surveys, and symposiums. Here’s just a taste of what we’re serving up this fall, sans pumpkin spice. Enjoy, and we hope you’ll join us for some or all of these events.
