About Source 2 Pay Summit
EBG believe in bringing different experiences together in an informal yet to the point way. People who rarely meet (since they some time don’t even work in the same country yet are responsible for different areas of the same process) – when they come together – magic can happen. Sourcing meet procurement who meet finance and when speaking about the same topic – different perspectives are met.
