The EOA Summit and Awards 2010
The 2010 European Outsourcing Association (EOA) Summit in Brussels brought together
the world’s leading outsourcing suppliers, end users and support service providers for a two
day conference focusing on the latest innovations, trends and developments in the European
outsourcing market. Furthermore, for the first time, best practice in pan-European outsourcing was awarded and celebrated with the inaugural European Outsourcing Association Awards held at the end of the first day.
As such the EOA brought together the key players across Europe to discuss the reality of
pan-European outsourcings and help direct Europe’s influence on the global economy, whilst
discussing the idiosyncracies and nuances of each of the European outsourcing markets. The

This two day Summit was carefully constructed to ensure a balanced blend of educational
learning, thought leadership and best practice, with content to steer those about to embark
