This is a very special edition, thanks to DPW/2024!
It is safe to say the world’s biggest and most influential tech event in procurement and supply chain lived up to its billing last month. Boasting over 1,300 attendees from 44 countries across 32 industries and 72 sessions featuring 140 speakers across five stages alongside 120 sponsors, 84 startup pitches over 14 tech domains, the numbers speak for themselves. Procurement gets excited about DPW. And we’re excited to bring you an exclusive DPW takeover edition of CPOstrategy, where we bring you all the excitement, fresh from Amsterdam!
Every year, DPW selects a different theme to set the tone for the conference’s conversation. This year, 10X was chosen: the idea that organisations should aim for a moonshot mindset instead of seeking incremental growth. In procurement and supply chain, 10X thinking essentially means fostering a progressive diverse culture where calculated risks are embraced, reimagining and rewiring traditional processes. Thus moving from legacy tech to disruptive technologies, and leveraging AI and automations that deliver tenfold improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and supplier relationships. Inside this bumper issue are over 100 pages dedicated to this unique event and the people who make it so special.
But that’s not all! We also have exclusive content and fascinating insights from Masdar City, Saudi Esports, Microsoft and UMS.
Enjoy!
