| The 2008 European Outsourcing Summit, part of IAOP’s world-renowned Outsourcing World Summit® Conference Series, is designed to specifically meet the educational and business development needs of outsourcing professionals in Europe by connecting the best in global insights to the very real differences in how companies across Europe approach outsourcing.
Previous European Outsourcing Summits have included: The 2004 European Outsourcing Summit, held in June 2004 at the Disneyland Resort Paris, Paris and The 2003 European Outsourcing Summit, held in June 2003 at the Sheraton Brussels Hotel & Towers, Brussels.

| The Summit is designed to create a forum where the topic of outsourcing is discussed from both global and regional points of view. There are some significant differences in creating and implementing outsourcing strategy in the European marketplace. We want to explore and highlight them and learn from those that have experience in the area and create customer-provider interaction through joint presentations on topics as well as participating in panels. The emphasis is on case studies and lessons learned.
