“Procurement Magazine hosted an Executive Dinner in association with Jabil Procurement and Supply Chain Services.”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result from Procurement Magazine mentions a partnership with Jabil for a 'boat party' in Chicago on 20 April 2026, and another mentions an 'opening dinner' hosted by Jabil, but they do not explicitly confirm a co-hosted 'Executive Dinner' as a single event. The evidence is fragmented.
