The Melbourne Supplier Management Summit returns in 2026, bringing together procurement and supplier management leaders from across Australia to explore the latest thinking in Supplier Relationship Management.

Now in its 18th year, the latest SRM research focuses on the exclusive theme: Making SRM Stick. It examines how organisations embed supplier relationship management into operating models, governance, culture, and behaviours so it becomes a consistent business capability rather than an initiative driven by individual champions. The research highlights how leading organisations sustain supplier management over time and continue to realise value from strategic supplier relationships.

Join industry peers for keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive sessions exploring the findings from the 2026 SRM Research. Hear practical experiences from organisations applying SRM in complex operating environments and discover approaches that can be adapted within your own organisation.

Every delegate receives a complimentary hard copy of the 2026 SRM Research Report.

Attendance is free for invited guests, with places allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The Melbourne SRM Summit has reached full capacity (~120 attendees) for the past three years, so we recommend registering early to secure your place.

The agenda and speakers will be announced soon.
