Last week, CPOs and senior procurement leaders came together at the iconic Sydney Opera House for the Australia Forum 2026.

Delegates explored people-first transformation with Fonterra, the evolving role of AI in procurement with Commonwealth Bank, the future of agentic procurement with leaders from Transurban and IAG.

🔇 Procurement leaders: if you’re thinking about what 2027 needs to look like, this is the room you need to be in. 👇 Forget the theory. Tomorrow’s Procurement Leader is about what’s actually working. Over two days in Austin, you’ll hear directly from senior procurement leaders on the strategies, challenges and ideas shaping the function - from 2027 benchmarking and transformation to AI, talent, influence and the future role of the CPO. And perhaps most importantly? You’ll be surrounded by peers who are facing many of the same challenges you are. The conversations between sessions can be just as valuable as what happens on stage and our afternoon of relaxed activities form a foundation for those conversations. 📍 Austin, Texas | Hotel Van Zandt 🗓️ 14–16 September 🥂 Welcome Drinks: 14 September 🎤 Main Event: 15–16 September If you’re serious about staying ahead of where procurement is going, don’t just watch the conversation — be part of it. 👉 Register here: https://okt.to/3hMj1C #Procurement #ProcurementLeadership #CPO #ProcurementTransformation #FutureOfProcurement #Austin

Not all AI investments deliver equal value. Some use cases generate fast ROI. Others require significant effort before impact is realised.
