Featured at the event, IHS Economist and Director of our Steel Service, John Anton, will provide an in-depth outlook on where commodity prices are headed in the second half of 2012 and into 2013. His presentation is powered by the most dynamic and capable forecasting minds in the world – including energy price insights from IHS CERA, chemical insights from CMAI and SRI Consulting, macroeconomic and metal price insights from IHS Global Insight, and technology insights from IHS iSuppli.
Understanding value: Procurement's Impact on Shareholder Return
As custodians of huge quantities of third-party spend and owners of key relationships, whether in the business or the supply base, CPOs are in a position to impact shareholder value in many different ways. Only by dissecting value into the sum of its parts, however, are they able to determine where to focus their efforts.
At the Procurement Leaders Forum, London, key speakers will investigate the ways in which procurement can contribute value through both traditional and more advanced techniques.

Topics on the agenda include:

Anton is manager of the IHS Steel Service and the ferrous metals industry analyst for the firm's Cost and Industry Service. In addition to producing regular forecasts of steel production, demand, and price, he is also responsible for managing the relationship between IHS and major steel clients, including some of the largest mills in the United States, Japan, and Europe.
He has an economics degree from Florida State University and a law degree from the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at the College of William and Mary.
