Get ready for something new!
Designed by the community for the community, FORGE: ENGAGE is all about you!
A dual focus on strategy and planning with personal and professional development, FORGE: ENGAGE combines creative thinking with education, skills workshops, content huddles, 1:1 meetings, closed-door, peer-led collaborations, live broadcasts, guest keynotes, socializing and fun!

ENGAGE kickstarts with The Hideout Theatre to get your creative juices flowing!
A fun, ‘outside the box’ learning opportunity hosted by Improv experts, who, through unscripted theatre and a bit of comedy, will transform the way you think about communicating and collaborating.

FORGE: ENGAGE brings the Procurement Foundry community together to celebrate and elevate the craft of procurement over two days of networking, learning and fun.
