SCHEDULE AT-A-GLANCE
The NAEP South Regional Conference brings together procurement professionals from across higher education for a multi-day experience focused on learning, collaboration, and community. It’s where peers connect to share ideas, explore emerging trends, and strengthen the relationships that move the profession forward.
Across the conference, attendees will engage in a robust mix of general sessions, concurrent learning, supplier engagement, and interactive networking experiences. From structured education sessions to informal conversations, every part of the program is designed to support professional growth and meaningful connection.
With a strong emphasis on practical application, peer exchange, and timely procurement topics, the South Region experience also offers opportunities to earn CEUs while engaging in relevant, high-impact content.
Your NAEP South experience begins here.
