Executive Summary Outsourcing Malaysia leads the industry by organizing thought leaderships events and conferences. The
Smart Sourcing Summit is our annual flagship event.
This year’s theme for our annual Smart Sourcing Summit is ‘Shifting Gears: Move-Up or Move-Out’.
The turn of the decade will move the world further into the Digital Age. Despite recognizing the importance of
disruptive technologies, there is a wide variation in how aggressively organisations have embraced it. Early
adopters have been swift to build-up talent bases and are beginning to explore disruptive opportunities. Many
more organizations are conducting small-scale experiments. The good news is that it’s not too late.
Organisations across industries will be able to accelerate the pace of change by determining new priorities,
invest wisely, and be willing to support experimentation. This will be the focus of our conversations at this
Summit.
Sponsorship through OUTSOURCING MALAYSIA offers your organization an exceptional opportunity to align
your company with an established, high profile professional industry association and leverage off the loyalty of
more than 150 corporate members. We offer various categories of sponsorship and levels of investment and
each opportunity offers a strong platform to increase awareness and influence key decision makers within your
target audience.
