Contracts are daunting. IT contracts even more so. Not only are we wading through legal jargon, but now we‘ve got very specific IT terms to understand. Guest Speaker Nathan Dawson will help us identify some very key IT contract terms, explain what they mean, and provide ideas for negotiating them.
Originally from Australia, Nathan is a recovering attorney both Down Under and in the UK before he found his true calling – procurement. He currently works for Lexington County School District One in Columbia, South Carolina buying goods and services (mainly IT-related) to help the schools prepare our leaders of tomorrow. Nathan also teaches NIGP classes to procurement professionals around the country, specializing in Technology and Cloud Procurement. And no, he does not know Chris Hemsworth.

Having a well-documented process that is understood by all participants is essential.

Explore the Possibilities! We welcome both Emerging and Seasoned Professionals. We need to hear from all levels of public procurement professionals. Bring your questions or share your expertise and experience to this group!
