CPO Outlook 2026
From Strategy to Practice: Making Procurement Transformation Real
Every CPO is expected to lead on AI, ESG, supplier risk and transformation — with the same team and budget as last year. That gap doesn’t close from listening alone.
Two days of real exchange with Nordic peers and experts — roundtables, panels and keynotes built around what you’re working on now.

Lena opens the day with the view from outside in: where Nordic companies are sourcing, investing and expanding over the next three years — and where the assumptions in many strategy decks no longer match the data.

What you take home isn’t slides. It’s how others have solved — or failed to solve — what you’re working on now.
