This month’s bumper edition is bursting with exclusive content from DPW Amsterdam 2025. The theme this year was ‘Put AI to work’ for what was an unforgettable week. 2025 was DPW Amsterdam’s biggest conference yet. More than 1,700 people from 65 different countries and 37 industries made their way through the Beurs van Berlage doors with 129 sponsors, over 100 speakers across 70+ sessions filling the expo space with lively discussion and invaluable insights. Every seat was filled, all tickets sold out. There is a demand for DPW unlike any procurement conference out there today.
“People always say that it’s the most exciting time to be in procurement, but I truly believe it,” DPW Founder, Matthias Gutzmann tells us. “Armed with the amount of innovation coming through, the next generation of leaders are so inspiring. I believe the future of procurement is being written at DPW Amsterdam.”
We were certainly busy out in Amsterdam, meeting procurement leaders and AI vendors from a whole host of big-name enterprises, including… Zip, Axiom, PepsiCo, Pactum, BT Sourced, Bridgestone, Candex, Boston Consulting Group, Valdera, Tonkean, Rolls Royce, Zeiss, True ValueHub, Unite, Nomia, Levelpath, HICX, Givaudan, Köse Advisory, Aptiv, Green Cabbage, TealBook, askLio, BeNeering and Resourcely.
DPW to one side for a moment, we were also lucky enough to enjoy a chat with Andrea Sordi, SVP Global Procurement for Indirect, Packaging & Energy at dsm-firmenich, who shares his insights on the most vital elements for procurement transformation and success. Enjoy!
