Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RoadShow?

OI’s 2005 RoadShow is a series of regional one-day workshops held throughout the U.S. and Canada. The workshops are designed to provide a cost-effective, time-efficient forum for serious outsourcing practitioners to learn and network in a comfortable peer-to-peer setting.

How is the RoadShow different?

Convenient: Just one day out of the office. No traveling. No pretending you want to be playing golf in Vegas with colleagues, analysts, and vendors.

Cost-effective: OI’s attorney hosts allow us to offer a low $295 RoadShow registration fee. And up to three colleagues from the same organization attend for this one price. And since we come to you, no travel costs.

Peer exclusive: No media, and no service providers are permitted to register. OI screens each attendance application to ensure what the RoadShow has become known for: a relaxed, enjoyable environment where fellow outsourcing buyers can share experiences, exchange strategies and network confidentially and comfortably.

Practical: With no service providers in the audience, the program can be directed specifically toward you, the outsourcing buyer. This means less theory, market analysis, and prognostication; more concrete examples, practical advice, 1st person reports, how-to, and tools you can use.

What will I get out of the 2005 program?

2005 RoadShow program features:
Real Buyers, Real Experiences: Outsourcing buyers telling it like it was. Presentations from real OI members, outsourcing clients who have been there and lived to tell the tale. Speakers get specific and bring the day’s content down to earth.
