Join the most important and independent Public Procurement event in Northern Europe! We are looking forward to welcome you to our first main conference day where we are opening up the doors for a varied programme with different speakers from all over Europe. Psst. You can also participate online!
Finally we are ready to open the doors once again for a whole week of public procurement! This year the week will be focusing on new case law, sustainability within public procurement, potential use of AI in procurement procedures and a lot more.
All week long we have an interesting program with various activities focusing on public procurement. You can join us for a day of workshops, jump on one or both conference days or be a part of the Norwegian day. You have the opportunity to seize exactly the things that you want to learn more about.
The scope of NPP 2023 is to give you thorough insight on the implications of the EU Public Procurement Directives, access to the latest research, knowledge and inspiration through relevant case experiences and an update on recent developments in case law of the Court of Justice in the field of PP.
We hope to see as many as possible in Copenhagen. But if you are challenging in showing up the two main conference days will also be available for you to attend online. Just let us know when you are registering that you prefer to join us online. Then we will make sure that you will get the best out of your online experience back home.
