2011 Annual Conference

NASPO’s Annual Conference was held Sept. 11-14 in Austin, Texas. The Annual Conference is your opportunity to learn about new ideas and successes in procurement from your NASPO network of state government peers.  It’s also the time each year when NASPO sets the direction for the future of the organization with the annual business meeting, Board elections and more. In short, it’s a meeting that shouldn’t be missed!
