While everyone’s racing to implement GenAI, many procurement leaders still struggle to measure its impact. This exclusive evening hosted by KPMG and Zycus dives into a candid exploration of how Agentic AI can go beyond chatbots and buzzwords—bringing real, measurable ROI through autonomous negotiation, guided intake, and AI-driven risk mitigation.
With live demos, peer discussions, and a fine-dining experience, this is your chance to shift the conversation from AI hype to procurement value.
