Prepare to Attend, Build the Case, and Deliver Results!
Over the last 25 years, Pricing Professionals have relied on PPS for the resources, knowledge, and skills needed to improve their careers. Your attendance at PPS Workshops, Conferences and Online Courses positively affects the development of the Pricing Profession and helps raise the profile of your occupation. Many pricers return to our events numerous times to follow up with peers, learn new techniques, and reconnect with the pricing discipline.
If you’re new to pricing or simply new to PPS, you can experience the pricing community in action and benefit from the networking, knowledge and camaraderie that only happens at PPS events.
Each time you attend a PPS event, you take a step towards furthering your goals as a professional pricer by learning how to become more competitive in the marketplace and how to help your company increase profitability. With dozens of educational sessions, you and your organisation will reap the benefits of best pricing practices, success stories, tools and practical solutions. During the European & Global Pricing Conference and Workshops you will have the opportunity to turn your biggest challenges into your greatest accomplishments while learning from experts and fellow practitioners.

2. Create a Winning Proposal to Get Your Company “Buy-in”
Put your ideas in writing and submit a formal proposal to your supervisor. Include this brochure or the PPS website, your intended schedule of education sessions [workshops, keynote addresses, breakout sessions or networking events], and how the knowledge gained will be valuable to your pricing goals. Strengthen your proposal by listing department goals or areas where departments faces challenges, and the sessions you want to attend or who you plan to visit with to help address these needs.
3. Offer Feedback
PPS makes it easy to share what you’ve learned after the conference with others in your organisation by providing a full manual and an electronic version of all of our valuable Conference speaker presentations. This presentations are available only for attendees.
Let your senior managers know that you will report back to them your impression of the event, what you gained from it, and how you will be able to apply lessons learned.

Most importantly, let your organisation know that your participation was a worthwhile investment. So, plan your strategy, prepare your proposal, and secure your approval to go.
