Agenda

Procurement Reimagined 2026

AI, Trends, and the Future of Skills in Procurement

Procurement is entering a new phase.
From a cost-focused function to a role that shapes resilience, value, and competitive advantage.

Procurement Reimagined 2026 is a conference dedicated to understanding how artificial intelligence and digital technologies are already transforming the way organizations source, collaborate with suppliers, and make decisions.

This is not a conference about abstract trends.
It is a conference about practical application — from spend intelligence and supplier management to intelligent workflows and agent-based procurement models.

Through real-world case studies, strategic insights, and open discussion, participants will gain a clear view of what procurement looks like in 2026 — and what actions need to be taken today.

The conference is held in strategic partnership with the Association for Supply Chain Development & Digitalization, ensuring strong institutional backing and a focus on connecting people, technology, and business value.

If you are responsible for procurement, digital transformation, IT strategy, or data-driven decision-making — this is where you need to be.

Learning Objective

To equip procurement professionals with a clear, evidence-based understanding of how their role is evolving — and how to act on it.

Participants will:

  • Discover the top procurement trends for 2026 that will shape organizational priorities and skills.
  • Explore real-world applications of AI in procurement, from supplier negotiations to spend analysis and risk management.
  • Understand how to balance human judgment and data-driven automation for better decision-making.
  • Leave with practical insights and tools to modernize their own teams and processes immediately.
