Launchpad: Innnovators
Most enterprise IT renewals are won or lost long before the vendor presents a proposal. Yet many procurement teams don’t begin preparing until the renewal conversation is already underway, after leverage has started to shift to the supplier. Join NPI for an introduction to PRISM (Pre-quote Renewal Intelligence & Strategy Module), a new offering designed to help enterprise procurement teams shape renewal outcomes before the vendor ever writes the quote. We’ll discuss the costly mistakes organizations make during renewal preparation, why traditional approaches are becoming less effective in today’s supplier-favored market, and how PRISM provides the intelligence, stakeholder alignment, and negotiation strategy needed to enter renewals with a plan instead of a reaction.

Launchpad: Emerging
In this Launchpad episode, we’ll discuss why traditional category management often breaks down across spreadsheets, slide decks, and disconnected systems, and how AI can help category managers build living, data-backed strategies. We’ll show how Teem brings together contracts, spend, renewals, supplier capabilities, stakeholder feedback, market intelligence, and supplier performance to help teams understand the current state, define the future state, and execute with confidence.

Launchpad: Innovators
Join Tropic as the team unveils their newest experience designed to bring visibility to the fastest-changing parts of your tech stack. AI spend has broken the budget model – committed vs. consumed is invisible until the invoice arrives. And as every tool adds AI capabilities, product overlap is growing faster than anyone can track. Get a first look at a completely reimagined experience that pairs Tropic’s proprietary intelligence – real pricing from real contracts – with your own spend data to track AI consumption in real time, forecast overages before they hit, surface redundant spend at the capability level, and act before renewals and budgets are locked.

Launchpad: Emerging
Traditional procurement systems only capture a fraction of how employees engage with vendors, leaving teams without the context needed to prevent surprises, hold vendors accountable, and maximize commercial outcomes. See how Abra creates a real-time system of context that automatically surfaces buying activity, tracks vendor commitments, and triggers the right actions at the right time.
