CIPS AI Webinar Week 2026
The effect of AI on procurement and supply chain operations is proving to be transformative. The conversation during CIPS AI Webinar Week 2026 moved towards more defined use-cases for agents - from orchestration to risk and contract management. We untangled how organisations move from experimentation to adoption. And we repeatedly addressed the role of the procurement and supply chain professional in a world of agents and automation.
Sessions took place between 18-20 March and are now all available to watch on-demand to watch at your leisure.
