What does it take for a supplier to become a trusted strategic partner? This virtual roundtable will bring together facility management and retail professionals to discuss what they value most in supplier relationships and what separates a traditional vendor from a true partner. Participants will explore ways to communicate more effectively, demonstrate measurable value beyond cost, and better understand the evolving needs and expectations of facility managers.
