ProcureCon events are an inclusive experience: You're encouraged to interact and network with everyone and anyone at the conference, at any time during the event. You're not forced to meet with vendors, nor are you forbidden to meet with them. There are a multitude of interactive session formats during the event, in both large and small groups, because you don't want to be talked at 8 hours a day for 3 days. It's your conference, and you're encouraged to customize your agenda and experience as you'd like.
