Why Should Leaders in Procurement Attend DPW New York 2026
Procurement is entering a new operating era, as such DPW New York is heading to the Duggal Greenhouse in the Brooklyn Navy Yard on June 3–4, 2026, to bring together the most influential community in digital procurement for two days of bold conversation, cutting-edge technology and high-value connections.
This year's summit is built around a single, urgent idea: RECODE.
AI is transforming how organisations buy, collaborate, decide and operate. The RECODE theme explores what procurement becomes when humans and intelligent systems work together at scale, from agentic workflows to fully autonomous operations.
The event will gather enterprise leaders, AI innovators, startups and supply chain pioneers shaping the future of procurement. Whether you lead sourcing at a Fortune 500 or are building the next generation of procurement technology, DPW New York is designed to meet you where you are.
What to expect on the floor
The experience is structured around six pillars: content (keynotes and discussions), technology (expo hall, demos and pitches), connections (curated matchmaking), performances, food and drink and side events including yoga, running and recharge zones.
The venue itself — Duggal Greenhouse — is a 35,000 sq. ft. waterfront space in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, offering panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline.

Why leaders should attend
DPW New York is a place where procurement leaders go to stress-test their thinking, encounter the technology that will define their next operating model and build relationships.
The agenda explores what procurement becomes when agentic AI moves from pilot to production, and the leaders best placed to answer that question will be in the room.
For CPOs wrestling with how to govern autonomous systems, renegotiate supplier relationships in an AI-mediated world, or simply make the case for procurement's strategic value internally, the conversations at Duggal Greenhouse this June will matter.
