Onventis Xchange 2021
The dialogue platform for digital
and sustainable change in purchasing
06 + 07 October 2021
Zeche Zollverein, Essen
Pure networking: e-procurement professionals in the real room
Real people on a real stage – After 728 days and a pandemic-related break, the Onventis dialogue platform “Xchange” took place this year in Essen. Every October, the conference brings together business innovators and digital leaders with procurement and finance executives, as well as global manufacturers and suppliers. The focus will be on digital and sustainable transformation in procurement and finance organisations as well as the latest innovations of the All-in-One Procurement Suite. This time, the UNESCO World Heritage Zeche Zollverein provided the setting for the 8th edition of the event with top-class speakers such as business philosopher Anders Indset and management coach Nicole Brandes, under the motto “Old walls, new thinking”.
Let yourself be inspired by our “Best of” selection of impressions and statements by the speakers.

Once again, we want to create a live experience with real encounters for you: This includes food for thought from today’s hottest speakers, technical presentations by proven e-procurement experts, best practices from purchasing and consulting, and last but not least: a framework program that will enable personal networking in the best possible way.
