What to expect
Watch 60 seconds of highlights from SievoFriends Helsinki, which took place on June 9:
2026 theme: AMPLIFY
AMPLIFY: AI, data, and community insight accelerating procurement performance.
Most teams buy the tools and build the dashboards, and then nothing changes. AMPLIFY is about breaking that pattern. Peer benchmarks become direction. AI becomes acceleration. And the insight your team already has starts hitting the bottom line instead of sitting in a quarterly deck. Scale what works.
Two tracks, built around how you work
New for 2026: parallel tracks, so you can join the sessions that fit your role.
-
Executive Track: procurement strategy, value creation, and closed-door roundtables with peers.
-
Practitioner Track: hands-on sessions, practical use cases, and analytics best practices.

📅 September 22, Main Event: keynotes, panels, track sessions, workshops, roundtables, and the evening gala dinner, awards, and afterparty
