Horizon US 2025: From Intake to Outcomes

Transforming Procurement with Agentic AI

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, Dana Point | September 22โ€“24, 2025

Welcome to the Horizon US 2025 rewatch hub โ€” where every keynote, panel, and live demo reveals how procurement leaders are stepping beyond Source-to-Pay and into a new era: Intake to Outcomes (I2O). An era where every request is intelligently routed, governed, and resolved by AI โ€” so procurement delivers deeper, faster, and measurable outcomes.

The I2O Revolution

Procurement no longer stops at sourcing or automation. It starts at intakeย โ€” and ends at outcomes. Through multiple power-packed sessions featuring global CPOs, industry analysts, and AI pioneers, Horizon US 2025 explored how Agentic AI transforms every part of procurement โ€” from supplier intake to negotiation and risk management โ€” all the way to delivering true enterprise outcomes.
