At the SIG event earlier this spring, Jason had the chance to sit down with Dawn Evans, SIG's President and CEO, to be interviewed for SIG Inside Source. In the interview, he talks on a variety of topics, including where procurement outsourcing is headed, how procurement is actually becoming innovative within companies, and how you can judge the value of procurement to the company based on CPO and procurement management comp plans, amongst other topics. Definitely worth a watch -- so grab some coffee, some lemonade, or heck, maybe even a Friday afternoon beer -- and settle in for some summer viewing.

A truly unique event happened in Spend Matters' brief history a couple weeks back. One sponsor formally departed our virtual pages for those of a sister-site (though we'll be collaborating with them through another form of broadcast media this year -- more on that in a minute). Zycus, one of the best positioned spend analysis and sourcing providers, became a new Lead Sponsor of MetalMiner. Besides sponsoring MetalMiner, however, they're also underwriting some extremely cool programming that I know everyone in our audience will look forward to seeing.

Spend Matters and MetalMiner, along with sponsor Nucor, will host a live simulcast, International Trade Breaking Point, on March 1, 2011. If your company sources products from overseas, you will not want to miss this half-day event.
