Elevate+ Zurich 2026

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

The next frontier of procurement is more than AI-assisted. It's AI-native. Elevate+ brings one 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.
