Procurement and supply chain teams across the energy sector are under increasing pressure to support capital projects, maintain supply assurance, manage supplier and contractor risk, and keep operations moving in an increasingly complex environment.
As organizations look to improve coordination across stakeholders, systems, suppliers, and workflows, procurement orchestration is emerging as a practical approach to managing complexity and improving execution.
This interactive morning session will bring together procurement and supply chain leaders from across oil & gas, midstream, utilities, and energy infrastructure for peer discussion, practical learning, and real-world examples.
Attendees will explore how AI, automation, and connected workflows can help streamline complex procurement processes, improve visibility, and support critical operational and project outcomes.
Session highlights:
- Peer discussion on procurement challenges across capital projects, operations, maintenance, and supplier networks
- Practical examples of improving visibility and coordination across procurement workflows
- Approaches to supplier onboarding, contractor management, sourcing intake, and cross-functional approvals
- Discussion on where AI can responsibly support procurement teams without adding unnecessary complexity
- Live demonstration of connected workflows across supplier onboarding, intake management, approvals, and procurement orchestration
