Following its London debut in 2025, the event sharpens its focus on how AI is reshaping procurement.

It will bring together over 250 procurement leaders and digital transformation teams from large enterprises, with vetted best-of-breed technology providers, to see AI agents and interoperable tools working together on real enterprise challenges. Co-founded by Beroe, Keelvar and Zip, the event is built on the belief that the future of procurement isn’t a monolithic all-in-one suite, but an ecosystem of best-of-breed tools working together.

It is designed for procurement and enterprise leaders seeking scalable, modern solutions, whether they’re driving transformation, frustrated with outdated tools, or looking to connect with peers solving similar problems and putting AI to work. Renowned technology analyst and former Andreessen Horowitz partner Benedict Evans opens the day. The program also features senior procurement leaders from Roche, Siemens Energy and PVH, alongside live demos, practitioner-only roundtables and closed-door CPO sessions.

The 2026 program focuses on practical, not hype-driven, applications of AI in procurement, with sessions covering multi-agent systems, the agentic Center of Excellence, decision-grade data and the connected best-of-breed stack. “Best-of-breed only works if the tools can actually talk to each other,” said Alan Holland, CEO and Founder of Keelvar and ProcureTEX founding partner. “The ambition of ProcureTEX is to illustrate the compounding effect of combining intelligent systems that solve distinct problems exceptionally well. ” “Procurement leaders used to ask whether to build or buy.

Now most are doing both, and the harder question is how to govern autonomous agents once they’re running inside the business,” said Michael Rooney, Director, Enterprise Transformation at Zip and ProcureTEX founding partner. ” “Last year we said ProcureTEX would face procurement’s real frictions head-on: poor data, disconnected processes, metrics nobody fully trusts. AI hasn’t made those go away. It has raised the stakes, because an agent acting on bad data just makes bad decisions faster,” said Vel Dhinagaravel, Founder & CEO of Beroe and ProcureTEX founding partner.

“The teams getting real value from AI are the ones that fix what sits underneath it.

” Why ProcureTEX Stands Apart ProcureTEX has been purpose-built around six core principles: Interoperability in Action: Live workshops showing best-of-breed tools solving real challenges together Curated Content: Thought leadership and hands-on sessions with no fluff or filler Practitioner-Led: Workshops and discussions driven by real users and operators, not vendors Transparent Sponsorship: No pay-to-play speaking slots or gimmicks, participation is earned Proven Providers Only: Vendors are vetted for scalability, interoperability, and enterprise readiness Quality Over Clout: Speakers are selected for the value of their experience, not the title on their business card Join the Community: Registration is open now at About ProcureTEX ProcureTEX is the community-driven event for best-of-breed procurement technology.

Founded by Beroe, Keelvar and Zip, it brings together procurement leaders, digital transformation teams and vetted technology providers to see best-of-breed tools working together through live demos, practitioner-led sessions and hands-on workshops. com)
