Dates for COUP 2011 are announced
APUC, in liaison with its client institutions, will organise the next Conference on University Purchasing (COUP) in September 2011. This event is held every two years and is staged by a different UK consortium on a rotating basis. Despite the conference name, it is open to both universities and colleges to attend.
The conference will be held in Scotland on 6-8 September 2011. You can expect:
- an educational programme focused on the latest developments in procurement.
- a supplier exhibition, offering institutions the chance to talk directly about the services offered by HE/FE contracted suppliers from across the UK.
- lots of networking opportunities, facilitated by interactive workshops and, crucially, entertaining social events too.
APUC is still in the early planning stages but is already receiving interest from contracted suppliers and institutional staff. If you want register your interest in attending or exhibiting, or simply to find out more, please email
COUP2011@apuc-scot.ac.uk
The venue will be announced on this web page shortly.
