2027 Event Overview
Procurement in Action: Turning Innovation into Impact
Put smarter technology, stronger relationships and confident leadership to work.
How can procurement turn new ideas into measurable results? Which innovations deserve your attention – and how do you bring your people, stakeholders and suppliers with you?
Procurement Strategies & Innovation (PSI) 2027 brings together senior procurement professionals, industry experts and solution providers to explore these questions and share practical approaches to delivering greater business value.
This year’s theme, Procurement in Action: Turning Innovation into Impact, puts the focus on making change happen. Whether you’re introducing AI, getting more from existing technology, strengthening supplier relationships or building your team’s capabilities, PSI will help you identify your next steps and make a stronger case for action.
Across five curated content streams and over 20 expert-led sessions, discover real-world experiences, fresh perspectives and practical lessons relevant to your organisation. From keynote talks and dynamic panels to interactive roundtables and hands-on workshops, each stream is designed to deliver fresh thinking and practical takeaways tailored to your priorities. Explore how procurement teams are winning stakeholder support, making better decisions, managing risk and demonstrating their contribution beyond savings.
Alongside the conference, meet solution providers in the exhibition area and explore tools and platforms that could support your priorities. Our returning 1:1 Meetings offer focused conversations with providers relevant to your interests and challenges, helping you make the most of your time at PSI.
With dedicated time to connect with peers, exchange experiences and explore new approaches, you’ll leave with practical ideas, useful contacts and greater confidence to turn innovation into impact.
