AI is Revolutionizing Direct Procurement, But it Won't Take Your Job (Someone Who Knows How to Use AI Will)

Masterclass
Wednesday, June 25, 2025 | 1715-1745


The procurement landscape is broken. Complex global supply chains, mounting stakeholder pressure, and data overload have turned sourcing into a survival game played with outdated tools.

But here's the opportunity: AI in procurement is exploding from $1.9B in 2023 to a projected $22.6B by 2033. The question isn't whether AI will transform procurement—it's whether you'll lead the transformation or get left behind.

What You'll Discover:

The AI Arsenal for Procurement Leaders:
Machine Learning algorithms that automate RFP/RFQ generation and refinement
Natural Language Processing that turns contract chaos into clear insights
Generative AI that uncovers hidden cost-saving opportunities in your spend data
Predictive analytics that transform demand forecasting from guesswork to science

Real-World Battle Stories:

Drawing from experience building procurement solutions at scale, we'll tackle the hard truths: messy data, change-resistant teams, and legacy systems that seem determined to sabotage progress. You'll learn practical strategies for overcoming these obstacles and identifying "quick wins" that build momentum.

Your Strategic Roadmap:
Focus on high-impact use cases first
Build data quality from day one
Navigate organizational politics (IT, finance, and beyond)
Train teams for AI-augmented success

Experts On-Site at Booth B58

Our growing team of Account Executives and Partnership strategists will be on-site to discuss your procurement needs and how we can align with your current technical stack.
