Elevate+ USA 2026

Designing the AI-native procurement organization

Written by

Join us for Elevate+ USA, a curated, full-day executive forum bringing together procurement  leaders for a day of insights, discussion, and networking. Building on the success of our flagship Elevate+ in Switzerland, this US edition explores how leaders are designing the AI-native procurement organization.

Through expert keynotes, panel discussions, customer stories, and interactive workshops, you’ll hear how AI reshapes operating models, decision-making, and technology evolution.

The event will conclude with an opportunity to connect with fellow procurement leaders over food and drinks.
