SAP to Lead Supply Chain Innovation at Gartner 2026
In the eye of relentless market volatility, the ability to pivot from reactive firefighting to proactive, autonomous execution is the hallmark of a resilient enterprise.
From 4–6 May 2026, the world’s most influential CSCOs and supply chain executives will gather at the Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo in Orlando, FL, to design the future of global commerce.
As a centrepiece of the event, SAP (Booth #309) will showcase how data-driven research and Business AI are transforming supply chain orchestration into a competitive advantage.
Attendees will gain access to supply chain insights they can trust, enriched by ongoing dialogues between experts and industry leaders.
Strategic insights from industry pioneers
SAP’s leadership will join forces with global brands to share actionable strategies for scaling innovation through several featured sessions:
-
"SAP and P&G Roundtable: Scaling AI – Data as the Foundation for Trust and Enterprise Value" – Dominik Mark Metzger (SAP) and Thomas Fiedler (Procter & Gamble) discuss how high-quality, governed data serves as the essential foundation for moving from AI pilots to measurable value and enabling a truly scalable orchestrated supply chain.
-
"From Resilience to Reinvention: Gallo’s Continuous Supply Chain Evolution" – Nitin Murali (Gallo) and David Vallejo (SAP) reveal how a culture of transformation and data-driven decisions unlocked global agility, shifting operations from firefighting to high-performance resilience.
-
"Empowering an Autonomous Supply Chain with SAP Business AI" – Experience an integrated supply chain with a live broadcast from SAP’s S.Factory. See how AI Agents in planning, manufacturing and logistics accelerate decisions and how Joule Agents deliver real-time insights tailored to your business.
Immersive innovation in the engagement zone
New for 2026, SAP is introducing an immersive Engagement Zone located in the Dolphin Northern Hemisphere Foyer.
This isn’t just a showcase, as attendees can take part in the journey and follow the lifecycle of a Smart Tag, starting with production planning in the S.Factory, moving through distribution and ending in final fulfilment.
This live, end-to-end experience demonstrates how AI-driven solutions increase visibility and efficiency in real-world scenarios.
Participants will even leave with their own Smart Tag as a tangible reminder of what an integrated, autonomous supply chain looks like.
High-level networking and collaboration
The symposium is as much about growing your supply chain circle as it is about technology. SAP provides multiple touchpoints to connect with a global team of over 3,200 experts to help create a game plan specific to your organisational challenges.
The conversation continues at the SAP After-Hours Reception on Tuesday, 5 May. Perched on the ninth floor of the JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa, Illume offers an unforgettable dining experience.
Leaders can enjoy Japanese-inspired cuisine and views of the Disney fireworks while engaging in strategic dialogues and impactful collaborations in a relaxed setting.
Whether you are looking to scale AI or optimise your manufacturing footprint, SAP’s experts, including Nicole Fox, Parry Gandhi and Matt Ruff, will be on hand throughout the event to discuss the digital transformation journey of people in attendance.
