Ivalua NOW 2025: Shaping the Future of Procurement

Procurement and supply chain professionals from all corners of the globe will converge at the highly anticipated Ivalua NOW 2025 event, taking place in two stunning locations: the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, France, from March 11-12 and the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on May 21-22. Additionally, those unable to attend in person can join the discussions virtually.

The theme for this year, "Innovate to Elevate," underscores the critical need for procurement teams to embrace transformation in the face of ongoing market pressures. These pressures, created by new technologies and shifting business priorities, demand innovative solutions that can significantly boost productivity and decision-making within organizations. Traditionally, many companies have only scratched the surface of potential technological benefits, witnessing limited improvements primarily from routine task automation.

Embracing Transformative Change

To realize full benefits and determine procurement's pivotal role within organizations, a shift towards more holistic innovation is essential. This includes not only adopting new technologies but also fostering a culture that embraces continual challenges to existing operational methodologies. At Ivalua NOW 2025, attendees will have the opportunity to glean insights from industry leaders who are at the forefront of this transformation, thereby enhancing profitability and ensuring supply chain resilience while addressing sustainability.

With over 1000 global leaders in attendance, including representatives from prestigious companies such as Prada, Veolia, Koerber Group, Bulgari, and Cleveland Clinic, Ivalua NOW will serve as a melting pot for ideas and strategies that push the boundaries of what procurement can achieve. From discussions on the emerging role of AI agents in procurement to exploring how sustainability initiatives can drive business value, participants will leave empowered with the knowledge necessary to tackle modern digital challenges.

Industry Insights and Networking Opportunities

One of the highlights of the event will be the chance for attendees to network and engage in rich conversations surrounding the future trajectory of procurement. Jan van Hueth, Senior Project Manager at Koerber AG, captures this sentiment perfectly, stating, "Ivalua NOW is an invaluable opportunity to engage with industry leaders, learn about innovative solutions, and share actionable takeaways." This interaction will not only foster collaboration among participants but also reinforce the idea that procurement professionals are now essential strategic partners within their organizations.

Franck Lheureux, CEO of Ivalua, echoes this sentiment, stressing the necessity for procurement teams to remain agile amidst disruptions, stating, "To our customers, partners, and industry leaders, I look forward to seeing you at Ivalua NOW!" This invitation underscores the global community's collective goal of navigating through uncertainties while advancing the procurement landscape.
