Insights + Talent: The Two Levers Defining the Next Generation of Procurement

JUMP TO SPEAKERS

About

Deploying AI isn’t the differentiator anymore. Rewiring how insights flow and how teams act on them is what separates leaders from the rest.

Leading procurement teams are embedding AI-driven insights into category strategies and surfacing real-time recommendations for RFPs, contract negotiations, and supplier decisions—while investing in the talent they need to ensure their AI investments deliver measurable impact.

Join us as we explore how embedded AI, agentic capabilities, and a future-ready workforce together drive procurement performance.

Agenda

1 Accelerate sourcing and sharpen negotiations with real-time insights
2 Understand why workforce upskilling is as critical as the technology—and how it drives adoption, savings, and compliance
3 Apply practical best practices to build AI literacy across your team
