                              purchasing?

                           • How can companies realize the full potential of

       Climate-neutral brochure printing
       Our printing company has determined our individual CO2
       footprint. Based on the results and in collaboration with
       the climate protection expert Climate Partner, we support
       a recognised climate protection project that enables us to
       balance our CO2 requirements.

       

       Recycling of the participant name tags
       For the first time, we will be using recyclable name tags for
       our participants this year. Simply deposit your name tag,
       including the lanyard, in the boxes provided in the hotel
       lobby after the conclusion of the event. Clips and lanyards
       can be used again, so the recycling is not limited to the
       plastic.

       Sustainable ball pens
       The 54th Symposium on Procurement and Logistics will be
       the first time – followed by all our subsequent events – that
       we use ball pens, made from renewable resources, that are
       both long-lasting and biodegradable. Green electricity is
       used for their manufacture from organic plastics and they
       are completely manufactured in Germany.

       Green Engage Initiative of the InterContinental Hotels
       Our congress hotel and its employees practise the handling
       of resources in full awareness of their value. Electricity is
       generated completely from renewable energy sources; the
       establishment’s own combined heating and power plant
       produces environmentally favourable electric and ther-
       mal energy; biodegradable cleaning agents and a greater
       proportion of recyclable substances are used. In addition,
       regional and seasonal products are integral elements of
       meal planning.

Evening Event Wednesday 13.11.2019

              OUR PARTNERS EXTEND A CORDIAL INVITATION TO YOU TO
              TAKE PART IN AN EXTRAORDINARY EVENING PROGRAM.

              #pacesetter #innovation

                                 DJANE CAT
                                     Enjoy your dinner with Djane Cat. She
                                        represents a magnificently refreshing
                                          form of DJing that ensures brilliant
                                           musical experiences. No one style
                                            dominates her sets; they are instead a
                                            mix of styles that is absolutely unique
                                            and a lot of fun. Her sets move between
                                           the playful to the delicate to the freaky.
                                          Joined by singer Eva Diamante, she will
                                       find the right songs at the right time!

LIVE THE GAME
Experience, for instance a roller-coaster ride that will pump
you full of adrenaline, feel the curves and acceleration, plum-
meting into the depths while all the time having solid ground un-
der your feet.
Or enjoy underwater worlds during a virtual dive, refresh your
skate­boarding skills or feel like a true football profession while
making great goalie saves, heading the ball and racing your
opponent down the touchline.

                                  NEW CITY BEATS
                                  Afterwards, the NEW CITY BEATS will be performing on the
                                  stage of the Great Hall. The band is a pool of international
                                  DJs, VJs, musicians and vocal acts and stands for a stage
                                  show featuring plenty of dance and a visual perfor-
                                  mance extraordinaire.
                                      The unique combination of “DJ Meets Live Acts”
                                       is guaranteed to raise goose pimples and create an
                                        inescapable atmosphere in the hall. Cross-over sounds,
                                         instrumental acts with percussion and plenty of funky
                                         rhythms generate thrilling live power.
                                       Let‘s dance!

                            With the new cluster of six key topics, the aim is not only to provide the participants
                            with a thematic classification of the exhibition but at the same time strengthen the
                            connection between exhibition and breakout sessions. There the sessions are linked
                            to these six key topics which you can find in the program overview.

                            For the keyword register, the partners and exhibitors were allowed to choose one
                            of the six key clusters for which they are primarily responsible. Additionally, partners
                            and exhibitors had the opportunity to state five other key topics from the different
                            clusters.

WI-FI
There is dedicated Wi-Fi available to participants, speakers, exhibitors and guests of the
54th Symposium for Purchasing and Logistics in the conference hotel. You will be given the
login data at check-in.

Image Rights – Transfer of Rights
As in previous years, we would like to capture some impressions of this year’s symposium as
well in pictures. We have engaged teams of professionals to take the photographs. However,
the photographs will be produced and published exclusively for use in public reports about
the association’s activities and for its own promotional purposes. The transfer of the images to
third parties for commercial purposes is not intended. If you, a participant at the symposium,
do not agree to the publication, please notify the photographer or the camera team either by
a hand signal or at check-in.

Use of RFID/Name Tag
We are once again using the RFID-supported system for congress admission this year so that
you enjoy the greatest convenience at the location. Your name tag with integrated RFID trans-
ponder is your ticket for admission to the event.

Please always attach your name tag in a clearly visible position. In addition, we would like to
ask you to carry an official photo document with you that you can use to identify yourself
should there be any problems with your name tag. A new feature this year is that, subject to
your consent, our exhibitors can scan the information on your name badge. This saves you ha-
ving to exchange business cards and you will receive the product information directly by email.

If you prefer an anonymous assignment of the identification number to your data while at the
event, you can request the change at check-in during the congress.
