We’re proud to sponsor of Zip Forward in London on April 16. The event brings together 300+ procurement and finance leaders to explore how AI, intake and orchestration, and evolving operating models are reshaping how businesses spend and operate.

Visit our kiosk to meet our Digital Procurement leaders, Tim Ross and Ben Tournant, hear their latest insights on how AI is shaping the procurement function, and ask questions about the future of procurement.

If you’re attending, we’d love to connect.

Many procurement organizations have invested in digital tools yet still struggle to demonstrate measurable performance improvement. The gap comes down to limited transparency, unclear KPIs and disconnected processes.

On April 17, Tim Ross at The Hackett Group will join Szilvia Nussbaumer at Coupa for a webcast designed for procurement leaders looking to close that gap. The session will cover which KPIs matter most in 2026, what typical performance ranges look like today, and what top-performing organizations are doing differently.

If you’re based in Central or Eastern Europe and want a clearer picture of where your procurement organization stands, this session is for you.

As AI adoption accelerates, many organizations are facing a familiar challenge: innovation is moving faster than financial discipline.

Without the right controls, AI investments can quietly drive long-term IT spend inflation.

Join our experts, Michael Fuller, Tiffany Hague, and Prem Purushothamraj to explore how finance and IT leaders can take a more coordinated approach – using benchmarks and shared metrics to create transparency, identify inefficiencies, and fund higher-value AI initiatives.

Procurement leaders are navigating a perfect storm in 2026: active conflicts are reshaping energy and commodity markets, a new wave of tariffs are redrawing global trade flows, and AI acceleration is restructuring supplier cost bases and pricing models.

Are your commercial strategies built for this environment, or for one that no longer exists?

We’re joining @CASME for a session designed for senior procurement leaders who want to move beyond reacting to volatility and start using it to create competitive advantage.
Expect practical insights on supplier power dynamics, cost challenge strategies, and the commercial disciplines that separate top-performing procurement teams from the rest.
