CPOstrategy is delighted to partner with DPW ahead of this year’s conferences in New York City and Amsterdam.

As always, CPOstrategy will deliver exclusive content, live updates, and in-depth coverage throughout both events.

DPW will return to New York on June 3-4th while Amsterdam’s event will take place on September 30th and October 1st at the RAI Amsterdam.

This year, DPW will focus its New York City and Amsterdam events around the theme of ‘Recode’ which will explore how procurement gets done in an era of an explosion in AI.

After confirming the conference theme, Matthias Gutzmann, Founder of DPW Amsterdam, said: “Since I founded DPW in 2019, AI has moved from hype to everyday reality. At the same time, I’ve seen a lot of activity and chatter about AI, but very little progress. As the enablers of digital transformation in procurement and supply chain, it’s part of our mission to help you close this gap.

“We’ve added tools. Lots of them. Yet progress feels limited. What if the real challenge isn’t technology, but how procurement and supply chain are designed? How is work structured? How are decisions made? And where do humans and machines each add the most value?

“In 2026, we’ll be exploring – and answering – these questions together at DPW. I’m super excited to announce our theme for the year – RECODE.”

DPW New York is set to be a hub of inspiration, insight, and the dynamic energy that defines our diverse and passionate community.

From founders and enterprise leaders to investors, political figures, academic thought leaders, and emerging talent, it is the gathering place where the widest array of perspectives converge to drive meaningful change.

Tickets for the New York event can be purchased here.

Last October was DPW’s biggest conference yet. More than 1,700 people from 65 different countries and 37 industries attended DPW Amsterdam 2025. With 129 sponsors involved in the event, over 100 speakers across 70+ sessions filled the expo space with lively discussion and invaluable insights.
