The World Procurement Congress (WPC) is widely regarded as one of the most important gatherings of the year for some of the world’s most influential procurement leaders.
Against the backdrop of rapid innovation and ever-changing global pressures, today’s Chief Procurement Officers are busier than ever which is why collaboration and exchanging best practices has never been so important.
This year’s event will be held at InterContinental London – The O2 from 19th-20th May, 2026, which will be followed by the return of the World Procurement Awards on 21st May. The Awards aims to spotlight those transforming procurement and setting benchmarks for excellence. Featuring a diverse range of categories and a well-regarded panel of CPO judges, the Awards celebrates the achievements of those sparking change globally.
Spread across three high-impact days, global leaders will come together to explore how procurement can unlock new opportunities, resilience and innovation.
Beginning with two exclusive Day 0 forums – the AI Forum and Resilience Forum – prior to two days of congress sessions.
The event will be focused around six key themes which are CPO vision, people and performance, digitalisation, resilience, sustainability and partnerships and innovation.
