As the European Union advances its draft reform of public procurement rules, the Conference aims to serve as a platform for dialogue among all stakeholders in the sector — at European level and across the roles of buyers, experts, and operators. Each participant can contribute to improving the quality of the regulatory framework that will shape public procurement for the decades to come.

The conference forum will take shape through thematic workshops, where speakers, facilitators, and participants will engage in in-depth discussions. 

Each participant may attend, subject to registration, one workshop in the morning and one workshop in the afternoon.

The goal is to identify key points to bring to the attention of EU institutions, ensuring that the rules align more closely with the needs of the market, buyers, and economic operators.

The Position Paper emerging from the workshops will be presented at the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, where a guided tour of the site will also take place at the conclusion of the Conference.

Speakers and facilitators will consolidate the key discussion points into a document that will be transmitted to the European Commission and the European Parliament, contributing to the construction of the future regulatory framework of the Union.

Depending on the number of participants, two groups will be formed, alternating between the workshop sessions and the guided visit to the archaeological site.
