This year’s conference will take a bold step forward, addressing how AI, sustainability, and leadership transformation are redefining procurement’s role in creating business and societal impact.
As we look ahead to 2035, procurement is no longer about managing costs but about shaping strategy, orchestrating ecosystems, and leading sustainable innovation.
The emergence of Agentic AI, Augmented Procurement, and new governance models is transforming how procurement operates : from data-driven agility to ecosystemic influence and intrapreneurial leadership.
Success in this new era will demand business acumen, creativity, and the courage to reinvent traditional models.

- Discover visionary keynotes from pioneering industry leaders and academics.
- Explore panels on future-ready skills, leadership, and the procurement models of 2035.
- Gain exclusive insights from EIPM’s research and case studies across industries.
- Connect with CPOs, executives, thought leaders, and rising talents through high-impact networking sessions.
