On November 1, 2024, the Expert in Public Procurement conference, organized by Arxia, brought together over 100 specialists in the strategic field of public procurement at the Sheraton Hotel in Bucharest, Romania.
Now in its fourth edition, the conference addressed key challenges and solutions, featuring presentations and discussions led by experts from Romania’s National Agency for Public Procurement (ANAP), the National Council for Complaints Solving (CNSC), and other notable Romanian institutions.
