State of Flux, in partnership with Vodafone Procure & Connect, invites you to a day of insight, connection, and practical thinking on the future of procurement and supplier management. Building on the success of our summits in Chicago, London, and Melbourne, we are bringing the Supplier Management Summit to Luxembourg for the first time this year. Join decision-makers from across Europe for this unique event.

In the morning, hear the 2026 SRM Research findings, and work through interactive sessions that turn these insights into practical steps you can take back to your own team. Now in its 18th year, this year's research ‘Making SRM stick’ explores how leading organisations move supplier relationship management beyond individual champions and embed it into operating models, governance, culture, and everyday behaviour, so it becomes a lasting capability rather than a one-off initiative. ‍

In the afternoon, enjoy a tour of Vodafone Procure & Connect’s new logistics centre and gain an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how VP&C delivers procurement at scale, including category strategy, digital procurement and AI tools, and its partner ecosystem. You will leave with practical ideas and inspiration to take back to your own organisation.

Over the course of the day, you'll:

  • Hear the 2026 SRM Research findings first-hand through keynotes, panel discussions, and interactive sessions

  • Get an exclusive look behind the scenes at Vodafone Procure & Connect’s approach to procurement

  • Connect with procurement and supplier management leaders from across Europe

  • Receive a complimentary hard copy of the 2026 SRM Research Report

  • Explore the future of procurement

  • Discover insights on supply chain resilience, value creation, and risk management

  • Experience an AI and innovation showcase

  • Learn about the strategic role of global logistics hubs, including a visit to VP&C’s Luxembourg Logistics Hub

Breakfast, lunch, and refreshments are provided throughout the day.

  • When: 10 November

    • Morning Session: Summit 8:30am - 1:00pm

    • Afternoon Session: VP&C Thought Leadership Forum 2:00pm - 5:30pm

  • Where: DoubleTree by Hilton, 12 Rue Jean Engling, 1466 Dommeldange, Luxembourg

Attendance is free for invited guests, with places allocated first-come, first-served.
