Who attends the Conference

 

The PURCO SA Conference is restricted to employees of PURCO SA member institutions and their suppliers. Suppliers may only attend if they are exhibitors.

PURCO SA Annual Conference attracts delegates from almost every one of the PURCO SA member institutions. Membership encompasses:

  • Public higher education institutions
  • Registered higher education institutions such as FET Colleges and private institutions
  • Allied institutions such as the CSIR, National Research Foundation, SABS and others.

To ensure the right level and calibre of attendance PURCO SA sponsors a free registration for at least one senior delegate from every member institution. The bulk of the approximately 250 regular attendees are directly engaged in procurement, either at an operational level or in a strategic capacity. Almost all procurement department heads attend the event, accompanied by buyers across a broad range of services and commodities. Finance departments are well represented.

PURCO SA has affiliate relationships with HEFMA (Higher Education Facility Managers Association) and ASAUDIT (Association of University IT Directors) and there are plans to increase attendance by their members.
