ProcureTEX, the community-driven event dedicated to best-of-breed procurement technology, has officially returned for its second year, taking place on November 3, 2026, at Circa in Amsterdam. Following its successful London debut, the event centers heavily on how artificial intelligence is reshaping enterprise procurement, convening over 250 procurement leaders, digital transformation teams, and vetted technology providers.
ProcureTEX 2026 takes place on November 3, 2026, at Circa in Amsterdam, focusing on practical AI implementations in procurement.
The event is co-founded by industry leaders Beroe, Keelvar, and Zip.
It brings together over 250 procurement executives and digital transformation teams from major enterprises.
The agenda features technology analyst Benedict Evans as the opening keynote speaker, alongside enterprise leaders from Roche, Siemens Energy, and PVH.
Core discussions focus on multi-agent systems, the agentic Center of Excellence, decision-grade data quality, and connected best-of-breed software stacks.
The community-driven format strictly enforces core principles, including live interoperability workshops, vetted providers, and no pay-to-play speaking slots.
Co-founded by Beroe, Keelvar, and Zip, ProcureTEX was established on the principle that the future of enterprise procurement relies on an interoperable ecosystem of specialized tools rather than monolithic all-in-one software suites. As organizations increasingly adopt artificial intelligence, the challenge has shifted from basic automation to ensuring that autonomous agents and disparate tools communicate seamlessly on clean, reliable data foundations.
"Best-of-breed only works if the tools can actually talk to each other," said Alan Holland, CEO and Founder of Keelvar and ProcureTEX founding partner. "The ambition of ProcureTEX is to illustrate the compounding effect of combining intelligent systems that solve distinct problems exceptionally well. When procurement leaders can see interoperability working live, it helps them cut through the noise and reach value faster."
Michael Rooney, Director of Enterprise Transformation at Zip and co-founder, highlighted the operational realities facing modern teams: "Procurement leaders used to ask whether to build or buy. Now most are doing both, and the harder question is how to govern autonomous agents once they’re running inside the business. ProcureTEX is where those conversations happen honestly, between practitioners, with the technology running live on stage."
A central theme of the 2026 program is tackling foundational hurdles such as poor data hygiene, organizational silos, and operational friction. Because artificial intelligence can compound bad data decisions rapidly if left unchecked, enterprise teams are focusing heavily on data infrastructure quality before scaling autonomous workflows.
"Last year we said ProcureTEX would face procurement’s real frictions head-on: poor data, disconnected processes, metrics nobody fully trusts. AI hasn’t made those go away. It has raised the stakes, because an agent acting on bad data just makes bad decisions faster," noted Vel Dhinagaravel, Founder and CEO of Beroe and ProcureTEX co-founder. "The teams getting real value from AI are the ones that fix what sits underneath it. That’s the conversation we want in the room in Amsterdam."
Designed around six core pillars—including live interoperability demonstrations, practitioner-led roundtables, curated content without vendor fluff, and vetted enterprise solutions—ProcureTEX continues to serve as a key forum for leaders navigating digital transformation in procurement.
About ProcureTEX
ProcureTEX is the community-driven event for best-of-breed procurement technology. Founded by Beroe, Keelvar and Zip, it brings together procurement leaders, digital transformation teams and vetted technology providers to see best-of-breed tools working together through live demos, practitioner-led sessions and hands-on workshops.
