Annual Conferences
The APG features two annual conferences each year: one in the spring and one in the fall. We provide educational opportunities at these conferences, and we encourage our membership to attend the conferences for both the educational benefits and for the networking opportunities. You can gain some of the best information from your purchasing peers by attending a conference. It always helps to have a face with a name when you reach out through our vast network for resources or support.
You need not be a current member of the APG to register to attend a Conference! Registration fees for nonmembers include a year's membership in APG. For more details, see the Conference Information Document listed below.
Specific information on the conferences is accessible through the Events Calendar page, and through the Adobe Acrobat® Conference Information documents listed below, as these become available.
Spring Conference
Scheduled for April 14 -16 in Louisville, Kentucky, the conference is being held in conjunction with the Southeast Chapter of AAAE. APG members will be permitted to attend several of the SECAAAE educational sessions free of charge, while separate sessions are being developed by the APG specifically for our members needs. Topics and schedules will be published in mid-January, 08. A tour of the UPS Worldport operations, the home base for UPS air operations, is on the schedule. This facility sorts over 300,000 packages per hour and is currently being expanded to double their capacity.
The conference hotel is the newly built Marriott Louisville Downtown. Louisville is currently ranked the 16th largest city and is home to GE Appliances, Ford Trucks, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Louisville Slugger, Papa Johns and of course that famous horse race in May, the Kentucky Derby. Louisville has all the amenities of a large city, but with that small town hospitality. Check out more information about the city at www.gotolouisville.com.
Fall Conference
The Fall APG Meeting is your chance to meet with other APG members, discuss purchasing issues, find solutions, and share your knowledge with your peers. An added benefit of attending the Fall Conference is the opportunity to benchmark and learn more about operating more effectively and saving money on your top ten procurement areas.
