Today is the annual conference of the European Outsourcing Association (EOA). It’s been held in a number of European cities before including Frankfurt and Amsterdam in recent years, but this time it has come home to London.

I say come home, but there is not really a geographic home for the EOA. The organisation is modelled on the UK National Outsourcing Association, celebrating its 21st birthday next month. The NOA structures have been applied to other countries allowing a federal body to be created across Europe.

I’m presenting a completely interactive research session during the conference, where every delegate will have an electronic keypad allowing them to respond en masse to my questions. It should be fun, and as soon as I have some of that live feedback from every delegate in the room I will make sure I blog the results – watch this space.
