An Exclusive Gathering of Procurement Innovators

Insights Summit & Product Council

Thank You

About the Event

We were honored to kick-off 2025 at our North America Insights Summit and Product Council. It was a day filled with fresh insights, powerful strategies, and an unwavering commitment to empowering your procurement success. But the best part? Getting to connect in-person with so many of our amazing customers.

Keynote Spotlight

Dr. Elouise Epstein on Holistic AI: New Ways for Procurement Operations

“The advice I give CPOs is you have to go all in on digital – there’s no doubt that data, analytics, and AI are fundamentally shaping where we’re going as a profession. If you’re not on top of this day 1, you will get further behind. If you’re not leading, you’re falling behind.”

Product Spotlight

Pierre Laprée, our CPO, dove into his 3-year vision

“I’m very excited for 2025 because technology offers many exciting promises. The insights we can extract when we use AI to cross reference different data sets is astounding. By cross referencing spend information, sourcing information, contract information, market information, and risk information, we get a more holistic view that helps customers make more and better decisions.”

Customer Spotlight

Tim Singer, Sourcing Execution Manager at Cox Communications

“The operations side of the house, supplier risk, and diversity teams use SpendHQ every day to understand where we are with our spend actuals verse our targets.”

We obsess over hearing your feedback and use cases on how you’re using our products.

“What I can say, I enjoyed, Doctor Epstein did a great job of just explaining about artificial intelligence and how we can leverage that as a part of procurement, and I really enjoyed it.”
