WHY YOU SHOULD COME

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.

Watch agents run supplier discovery, negotiations and buying live. See what it means for your categories, savings targets, supplier base and team workload.
