Procurement LIVE

Procurement is no longer just a department; it is the strategic engine of the modern enterprise, and at this year’s Procurement LIVE: The London Summit, the agenda will explore diversity and inclusion, orchestration platforms, automation and AI, strategic sourcing, contract management and much more. 

The pace of change in global procurement has never been faster. From the rise of agentic AI to growing pressure around ESG accountability, CPOs are navigating a landscape that demands both technical fluency and visionary leadership. This summit is built to address this challenge head-on, bringing together the brightest minds in the field to share experiences and forward-looking strategies.

While the overall summit covers the end-to-end supply chain, the Procurement LIVE Stage stands as the essential location for leaders looking to sharpen their sourcing edge. At the event, CPOs can move between keynotes, workshops and panels to personalise their experience and gain the most relevant insights for their procurement strategy.

The event is also co-located with Sustainability LIVE and Supply Chain LIVE, offering themed content tracks and executive workshops that bridge the gap between procurement excellence, supply chain resilience and sustainable business practice.
