What is the Agenda for Emptoris customers?

We have arranged a program specifically for Emptoris customers that includes a cocktail reception on Monday, May 21st, an Emptoris general session on Tuesday, May 22nd and several Emptoris specific business and practitioner breakout sessions featuring our subject matter experts and customers. Additionally, you'll have access to over 150 breakout sessions focused across the entire Smarter Commerce solution areas of Buy, Market, Sell and Service - with over 30 focused just in the "Buy" area.
