Where More Happens...

NIGP Forum 2023

The flagship event for public procurement professionals to learn, network, and explore innovation in our field.

Every year we up the ante and strive to make NIGP Forum a better experience than the year before.  We're excited about some of the change being implemented for this year to deliver more value and continue delighting each one of you, whether you choose to join us in person or virtually.

NIGP Forum is where the public procurement community comes together to prepare for what's next.


At Forum, our member network brings together professionals at all levels and career stages to​ learn from and support one another. It’s the environment where innovative ideas are shared and​ worked on collaboratively. It’s where our profession is exposed to new thinking and prepared to​ develop new solutions that will reshape our work. It’s where relationships are forged to support​ you through your growth journey. It’s where you can find the vetted, trusted, and indispensable​ partners to help you with current and future challenges.

The educational component of the conference covers the latest hot topics, best practices, resources, and skills needed to help improve job performance and provide professional development for public procurement professionals. 

Attendees leave Forum, whether virtual or in-person, with renewed energy for responsibly sourcing projects and a deeper understanding of the issues and challenges facing today's procurement professionals.

Connect with colleagues, explore bold ideas, and gain new experiences to accelerate your professional goals.
