Networking afterwork at Hotel de Crillon: procurement, AI & the data underneath
Everyone is talking about AI in procurement right now. Talking about it is great, running pilots is even better. But how do we deliver measurable impact?
Sievo is opening its office in Paris. Join other CPOs and procurement directors at the 18th-century palace on Place de la Concorde, one of the few addresses in Paris that needs no explanation.
An evening among peers, not a sales pitch. By invitation only, 25 seats for CPOs, procurement directors and heads of procurement excellence.
You’ll be able to exchange experiences on procurement data and what it really takes to get value out of AI, and meet the Sievo team now setting up in Paris, closer to you.
Jean-François Muller, Vice President TechOps Procurement and Global Digital Procurement Lead at Ipsen, will introduce Ipsen’s journey to a single source of truth for procurement intelligence: what they built, what they learned.
Sammeli Sammalkorpi, CEO, tech entrepreneur and co-founder of Sievo, will share his perspective on the impact of AI today and tomorrow and why data has to come first in the world of AI. What does AI in procurement actually run on, and how do you tell a real answer from a confident guess?
We wrap up both sessions with an in-depth debate on how reliable, structured procurement data becomes the foundation for AI.
