The focus of our 2026 event is Procurement Unlocked: Agile. Intelligent. Human.
PSI 2026 will explore the next evolution of procurement – where agility, intelligence and human-centred leadership align to drive meaningful impact. With AI, automation and advanced analytics accelerating possibilities, procurement is now cementing its role as a proactive, insight-led function at the heart of organisational strategy.
This year’s theme focuses on how forward-thinking teams can harness technology while strengthening the human skills – empathy, collaboration, leadership, that remain critical to success. PSI 2026 will help delegates unlock what’s next, combining digital innovation with the mindset and capabilities to lead lasting transformation.
