GEP Executive Dinner: Unlocking Smarter Procurement with AI
Procurement leaders are under pressure to remove friction, speed up decisions and deliver clear business impact. AI is now a practical lever to get unstuck - clearing backlogs, shrinking approval cycles and connecting siloed systems into a single view that actually helps you move.
The payoff is simple: automate the grind, surface real-time insights and act before issues grow into costs. This dinner in London brings senior leaders together to compare what's working, what still isn't and how to turn AI into measurable gains.
From spend analytics to risk mitigation: AI's procurement toolkit
AI is already delivering in the areas that slow teams down. The goal isn't more dashboards - it's fewer handoffs, fewer surprises and faster value.
- Spend analytics with machine learning to spot inefficiencies, forecast demand and reduce out-of-policy spend.
- RPA to handle routine tasks such as invoice matching and PO creation, cutting cycle time and errors.
- Predictive risk models scanning large datasets to flag supplier disruptions early for agile mitigation.
London roundtable: Where strategy meets reality
On Tuesday 3 March 2026, GEP will host an exclusive executive procurement dinner in London. Senior leaders will share how AI-driven strategies remove friction, accelerate decision-making and deliver greater business impact.
Expect straight talk and concrete examples - not slides. Register your interest. Places are limited to keep the discussion focused and candid.
