One Community. One Vision. One Future.
As the flagship gathering of procurement leaders and the world’s most influential meeting of CPOs, WPC 26 is where the function’s next chapter takes shape. In a world defined by rapid innovation and evolving global pressures, Chief Procurement Officers stand at the crossroads of human ingenuity and digital transformation. WPC 26 is where this new era of procurement takes shape — through ideas, collaboration and bold leadership in action.
Over three high-impact days, global leaders will convene in London to explore how procurement can unlock new sources of value, resilience, and innovation. The experience begins with two exclusive Day 0 forums — the AI Forum and Resilience Forum — before two days of congress sessions and concludes with the prestigious World Procurement Awards celebrating excellence across the function. Explore six essential themes: CPO Vision, People & Performance, Digitalisation, Resilience, Sustainability, and Partnerships & Innovation.
Resilience & AI in Focus
Ahead of the Congress, two exclusive Forums bring senior procurement leaders together for deep-dive collaboration. The AI Forum explores how procurement is moving from experimentation to integration by building trusted data, intelligent systems and human-AI partnerships that accelerate impact. The Resilience Forum supports leaders to anticipate disruption, build stronger supplier networks, and embed agility through technology, ESG, and culture.
