ATTENDING MAKES
SENSE FOR YOU

A curated crowd of 500+ people - everyone in the room works in procurement, from senior buyers to CPOs.

WHY YOU SHOULD COME

The invite-only executive lunch and round tables, where you compare notes with peers who run procurement at scale and leave knowing what an AI operating model actually takes to run.

How to take agents from pilot to production: the team setup, the change management, and the governance that keeps them reliable at scale.

Where autonomous sourcing and intake fit your roadmap, and how peers wired agents into Coupa, SAP and the rest of their stack.

Agents running supplier discovery and negotiations in front of you, and tactics that move straight to your categories and savings targets.

A request running end to end, intake to PO, and what agentic buying does to tail spend and your team's workload.

You build a working agent for one of your own processes in the AI Lab, and walk out able to do it again on Monday.
