Agentic AI in Procurement

Next Level Execution and Impact

Agentic AI. AI Employees. New Operating Models

KonnectHouse is excited to be returning to CA with the next level Agentic AI in Procurement event. 2025 brought together an expert group of procurement pioneers actively embracing the possibilities of Agentic.

2026 will bring a fresh redesign to a day that is designed for maximum interaction, brainstorming, live demos and strategic planning amongst innovative procurement thinkers, and leading minds from startups, tech firms and digital specialists at the forefront of AI.

The Next Wave of Procurement Is Already Here

AI in procurement is rapidly moving beyond pilots, proofs of concept, and efficiency claims.

The next wave is outcomes-focused, agentic, and embedded directly into how procurement operates.

This event is designed for procurement leaders who want to understand what happens after automation, when AI agents begin to take on work, collaborate across functions, and fundamentally change operating models.

At Agentic AI in Procurement, we go beyond theory to show how real organisations are deploying Agentic AI solutions that deliver measurable outcomes, including faster cycle times, stronger supplier performance, improved resilience, and greater strategic capacity for procurement teams.

We’ll explore:

  • Outcome-driven agentic AI use cases that are live today across sourcing, contracting, supplier management, and analytics
  • The rise of AI employees: how digital agents are taking on repeatable and decision-intensive work, and what this means for roles, governance, and capability
  • Next-gen procurement operating models, where agentic workflows operate across functions and enterprise boundaries
  • Clear examples of how value is defined and measured, moving beyond activity metrics to real business impact
  • Hands-on live demos that allow you to interact directly with agentic tools, guided by vendors and practitioners who have implemented them

This is not about incremental improvement. It’s about a fundamental shift in what procurement work actually is – enabling fewer people to focus on higher-value outcomes such as supplier innovation, net-zero delivery, and building resilient supply ecosystems.

Procurement is entering a period of rapid change. The question is no longer whether Agentic AI will impact procurement, it’s whether your organisation will lead the shift or be left optimizing the old model.

Join us to explore the next wave of procurement and the operating models that will define it.

Seats are limited to maximize learning and collaboration, and are exclusively for buy-side attendees who represent large global enterprises. Apply today to request your seat.
