INSIGHTS EVENT RECAP: CPOs Gather to Share Industry Insights & Best Practices
We recently gathered 50+ CPOs and procurement leaders across 25 industries for our INSIGHTS Customer Event in Paris.
Held at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, INSIGHTS is a premier customer event to gather Senior Procurement leaders to share best practices, hear about SpendHQ’s vision and roadmap, and connect with peers.
Watch our 2-minute video recap to hear what attendees thought of the day, which was filled with keynote speeches, customer success stories, and thought leadership.
How to Take Procurement from Data to Value
The event featured speakers from SpendHQ and our partners who brought to life our vision – From Data to Value.
A highlight was when our EMEA Managing Director, Manuel Roger, shared SpendHQ’s roadmap and vision. He touched on the evolution of the platform and how it helps procurement organizations efficiently manage their procurement team, get full visibility into their spend data, and better execute their projects with full transparency. He also shared current and upcoming AI capabilities being added to our platform. To learn more about our AI functionality, watch our recent Product Tour.

Procurement Hot Topics: AI & ESG
Two topics on every procurement leader’s mind – AI and ESG – were also discussed throughout the day.
- By.O Group shared their recent work on customer projects they completed with Digitalent on the integration of AI in Procurement organizations.
- Pierre-François Thaler Co-CEO and Co-Founder of EcoVadis shared his perspective on new ESG regulations and why Procurement is critical to support ESG’s performance. His take: sustainability initiatives won’t be voluntary for much longer and procurement teams need a plan to holistically track their ESG initiatives.
