SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Bid Ops and Marcus Evans are partnering to host Optimal: The AI Conference for Procurement Teams, a one-day virtual conference for procurement teams across different industries interested in learning about the benefits of AI. Optimal is scheduled for March 24, 2021, with a strong focus on education and professional development.
"There is a huge opportunity for modern procurement teams and their stakeholders to benefit from AI," said Edmund Zagorin, CEO at Bid Ops.
