Speaking At The Conference
AI is changing procurement, but the real opportunity goes far beyond automation. In this session, Ann Fleishell shares how procurement organizations can move from curiosity to capability to competitive advantage by using AI to create leverage, reduce friction, and focus people where human capability matters most. Through practical examples and lessons learned at OpenAI, attendees will leave with a framework for building a procurement function that is faster, more scalable, and easier to engage.
As AI agents begin to take on more operational work, procurement leaders face a new question: what should the human team look like? This panel explores how organizations are redesigning roles, capabilities, and team structures for an AI-enabled environment — and how leaders balance human judgment, automation, and agents in day-to-day operations.
