Elevate+ Zurich 2026

A full-day event. 100+ procurement leaders. Designing the AI-native procurement organization together.

Written by

Procurement as we know it is being rebuilt AI-native. Elevate+ is where you see what's next. Join us for a full day of inspiring sessions, hands-on workshops, and bold product announcements exploring how people, technology and decision-making evolve when AI agents do the work.

Hear from industry innovators and thought leaders as we explore the future of eSourcing and eAuctions in the age of agentic AI.

In addition, join Archlet for our opening event on September 16, 17:00 to 22:00 at Samigo in central Zurich. The evening will be dedicated to one of procurement's biggest open questions: what does the future best-of-breed landscape look like in the age of agentic AI?

Register your interest for either or both events using the form.

Over the two days, you'll:

  • Connect with procurement pioneers and AI innovators shaping the future of procurement
  • Experience live demos of Archlet's agentic capabilities, powered by Spark
  • Learn how to redesign your procurement operating model for an AI-first world
  • Hear from leaders at companies like PepsiCo, Emmi & Estée Lauder on their AI transformation journeys
  • Get an exclusive look at Archlet's product roadmap
