SSON and IACCM Partnership Expands on Contract Management at Shared Services Conferences
New York, NY & London, UK, January 6, 2010 – The Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON) and the International Association for Contract and Commercial Management (IACCM) announced a new strategic partnership for the shared services flagship conferences in the U.S. and Europe.
As leaders in their respective fields, SSON and IACCM envision the partnership as a means to unite professionals involved in shared services and outsourcing with those in contract and commercial management. The collaboration multiplies the benefits for conference attendees, providing a cost-efficient experience that features an expanded range of session options, doubled networking opportunities and 360-degree insights from world-leading companies and organizations.
"By combining the thought leadership of SSON and IACCM, we bring our delegates the insight and ideas that equip them to drive change and ensure success within their organization and beyond," states Tim Cummins, President and CEO, IACCM. "In these tough economic times, we have found a way not only to safeguard the value of attendees’ marketing investments, but in fact to ensure a substantial increase in range and outreach."
