Registration Information
The 54th Rutgers Public Purchasing Educational Forum is scheduled for April 24-25, 2024, at Tropicana Casino and Resort, Atlantic City. We also offer a pre-Forum ‘Ethics” seminar on April 23, 2024, at the same location. As always, the Forum will provide the latest and most relevant information for the purchasing professionals, as well as an opportunity to earn up to 10 CEUs and to network with peers.
There are two ways to register for the conference:
Purchase orders/vouchers and registration forms must be sent together and e-mailed to cgs@docs.rutgers.edu. A check or voucher must accompany the registration form, made payable to Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.
