The Supplier Management Summits returns to London, Chicago, Melbourne and the newly added Luxembourg. The 18th annual SRM research explored the exclusive theme, Making SRM Stick.
Attendees will hear from thought-leadership speakers, panel discussions, and interactive sessions that examined how strong supplier relationships can directly impact end-customer experience. They gained first-hand insights from the 2025 SRM research, which included 484 respondents across 335 companies, and left with practical strategies they could apply in their organisations.
The events also provided valuable networking opportunities with peers and procurement leaders, and delegates took home a hard copy of the 2025 SRM Research Report. Attendance was free for invited guests, with places limited to venue capacity.
