Canoe University
You're invited to Canoe University 2025
Canoe University is a one-day learning and networking event designed specifically for sales professionals in the Canoe supplier network.
Join other suppliers like you to explore proven strategies, share best practices, and gain insights into how Canoe and Sourcewell contracts can strengthen your sales approach. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how Canoe fits into the public procurement process, and how to position it effectively with your clients.
