Calling IT vendor managers, procurement agents, and anyone who is involved with buying stuff! Join us for a "birds-of-a-feather" conversation about vendor negotiations. This public meetup is intended to connect IT staff who negotiate with vendors. We can talk about the basics of negotiation, or share stories, tips, and tricks.
