Choice of Workshop

Workshop 1: Vibe Coding for Procurement – Build Your First AI-Powered Tool
For people who are new to AI tools, procurement professionals, category managers, analysts, founders, and operators. Focus on prompt-to-prototype: participants describe a problem, use AI to generate a simple app, spreadsheet workflow, dashboard, or form, and leave understanding what is possible.

Workshop 2: Building Procurement AI Agents – From Assistant to Automation
For people already comfortable with AI basics, digital transformation leads, procurement ops, consultants, product managers, and technical-adjacent teams. Focus on agent design: goals, instructions, tools, data sources, guardrails, human approval points, and how to map an agent to a procurement workflow.

Workshop Leaders: Nils Brauckmann, Brajan Gatys & Oscar Fernandez

Operating Models for Agentic Procurement: Scaling Execution Without Scaling Headcount

Procurement teams are under pressure to deliver more value with fewer resources and AI has moved from pilots to a genuine execution advantage. But scaling AI isn’t a tool problem. It’s an operating model problem.

In this main stage panel, speakers will unpack what’s actually working today: the shift from copilots to agentic workflows, how AI is being embedded across intake, contracts, analytics and negotiation, and what it takes to scale adoption across a real organisation. We’ll explore the operating model patterns that enable agentic procurement, governance, orchestration, data trust, and role redesign so teams can move faster without losing control.
