Indotronix Avani UK was a proud returning sponsor of the 2025 Staffing Industry Analysts CWS Summit Europe, held on 20 and 21 May at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. Recognized as one of the most influential events for professionals in contingent workforce management, HR, procurement, and talent acquisition, the summit provided a high-impact platform for industry leaders to share insights, strengthen strategies, and explore the future of workforce solutions.

Our leadership team, including President Venkat Mantha and COO Michael Allen, attended the event in person. They engaged with peers and thought leaders to discuss the evolving challenges and innovations shaping the staffing and recruitment landscape.

We were especially thankful to the contingent workforce practitioners who took advantage of the complimentary tickets provided to sponsors by SIA, enabling broader participation from across the talent ecosystem.

One of the highlights was our roundtable session, facilitated by our COO Michael Allen. Titled “Supplier Optimisation and Rationalisation: What to Consider,” the session took place on 20 May and offered practical guidance on improving vendor efficiency and overall value in workforce programs.

Key themes included:

• The need for global suppliers with strong local delivery expertise
• Issues caused by the loss of niche suppliers
• Impact on brand identity by moving to large vendors
• A decline in vendor engagement and partnership quality
• Cost pressures forcing smaller suppliers out of tiered vendor lists

Many attendees discussed how to balance cost control with supplier diversity, flexibility, and strategic alignment in contingent workforce planning.

Beyond this session, the summit featured in-depth panels on the impact of AI in staffing and the rising importance of sustainability in talent acquisition. These timely discussions aligned closely with our commitment to delivering innovative, forward-looking workforce solutions to clients across industries.

The event also served as a powerful networking platform. We valued the opportunity to connect with HR professionals, procurement experts, and talent strategy leaders from across the UK and Europe.

Indotronix Avani UK remains dedicated to helping organizations optimize their contingent workforce programs through insight-driven strategies, advanced technology, and people-first partnerships.
