THE 5th IPPC:
An Excellent Progress
Our Call for Abstracts or Paper Proposals deadline has passed. We received over 300 abstracts or proposals from 76 countries. This is another record, surpassing the 4th IPPC record of 245 abstracts. The 5th International Public Procurement Conference will be held in Seattle, August 17-19, 2012. IPPC5 is co-hosted by the Public Procurement Research Center, School of Public Administration, Florida Atlantic University; the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, a professional procurement association in North America; and CONSIP, a national government procurement agency of Italy. The record number of submitted abstracts is an early indicator of a projected record of participants and paper presentations. As you know, the 4th International Public Procurement Conference, held in Seoul, South Korea, was the largest international conference in procurement in the world with 425 participants from 59 countries.
