Professionals at similar levels face comparable challenges, across
businesses and industries. When they connect, they validate each other’s
experiences, which strengthens confidence in shared solutions. They co-
develop narratives that resonate across organizations, making business
cases more robust and relatable. They amplify influence by aligning on
language, metrics, and priorities.
The team behind nine3, who facilitate the conversations, have over
35 years experience in procurement and supply chain, with real experience
ranging from driving forklifts, working on production lines, processing
purchase orders, to global strategy development and leadership of teams
across multiple countries, executing significant improvements to cost, service and quality. We understand the challenges, opportunities and how to collaborate with others drive improvements.


nine3 was created to differentiate from other forums that predominantly facilitate selling solutions, we dive deep into problems and opportunities to ask the questions you really need answered. With regular events since the beginning of 2024, we have the best minds in procurement and supply chain already engaged.
Professionals are overwhelmed with content, frameworks and sales pitches that promise transformation, therefore we are deliberately not a content provider, more so an experience provider that is long remembered after the moment.
