Thank you to the many people who joined us yesterday for the first IMPA SAVE / IMEF Live Webinar.

We appreciate your participation and engagement during the event, and hope you have found this a valuable session on this new ambitious initiative.

As specified at the end of the session, due to the limited time, we were unfortunately not able to address all the many questions received during the live session. To ensure that everyone's queries are answered, we will be preparing responses to those remaining questions. The answers, along with the full webinar recording, will be available on the IMPA SAVE website in the coming weeks. We will send out an email to notify all registered attendees, as well as our wider network, once the videos are live, so please keep an eye on your inbox in December.

In the meantime, if you are interested in learning more about the IMEF Initiative or want to pledge your support, you can visit: www.impasave.org/imef-initiative.

Thank you once again for your support and participation. We look forward to your continued engagement in the IMEF journey.

Very best,

IMPA Singapore 2024 Workshop:

Negotiation Skills for Maritime Purchasers and Suppliers
Wednesday, 27 November 2024 | 11:00 - 12:30

Maritime Purchasers are swamped in daily tasks that often leave little time for them to focus on development of soft skills such as negotiation. As more and more processes automate, it is a vital experience for purchasers to grow in the human relationship touch points that will not be replaced by automation or artificial intelligence.

Join Vanessa Lee, former maritime purchasing professional turned business development manager in the industry, to explore the framework, conversations, and actionable steps toward becoming a skilled negotiator. Maritime suppliers are also welcome to participate.

The workshop will discuss the following elements, with a focus on interactions within the maritime procurement space.

• Common misconceptions about negotiation

• Understanding your negotiation counterparty's needs

• The bigger picture of negotiation
