Join Archlet for an afternoon dedicated to what it really means to build an AI-native procurement organization in the age of agentic AI.

Some of the most forward-thinking procurement teams are already rethinking how they source. Connect with 40 senior practitioners as they navigate the shift and share what is actually working.

You'll hear from PepsiCo, FleetPride, and Smith & Nephew on their transformations and how they're driving real results.
