  • Event Overview

Where Procurement Leadership Meets Agentic Intelligence

Procurement doesn’t deliver value in isolation and priorities don't stand still. A supplier issue becomes urgent overnight. A tariff changes. A contract renewal suddenly jumps to the top of the list. Yet most AI solutions force procurement teams to work in silos investing time configuring individual use cases without end-to-end control. By the time they're ready, the business has already moved on.

IVA, powered by IVA Studio, takes a different approach.

Instead of deploying isolated AI agents for sourcing, contracts, invoices, or suppliers, IVA acts across your entire Procurement process, from day one. Every action your team takes is supported by IVA, without waiting for new AI use cases to be built or data to be aligned.
