Procurement conferences remain a vital part of professional development for procurement leaders and practitioners.
After the pandemic disrupted in-person events, the conference circuit has now fully recovered. The landscape in 2026 offers more choice than ever before.
Whether you’re looking to network with peers, learn about the latest trends in procurement technology, or dive deep into strategic transformation, there’s a conference designed for your needs.
This guide covers the key procurement conferences with a strong focus on tech that are happening in 2026. We’ve focused primarily on North America and Europe, simply because that’s where most of our readers are based.
We’ve included key details like dates, locations, and ticket prices where available. This should help you decide which conferences deserve a place in your 2026 calendar and budget.
My prediction is that in-person networking will continue to be hugely popular this year. If you’re a practitioner and looking to expand your network, this can be one of the best investments from a personal development perspective.
Just make sure that you build connections online (through hosted communities or LinkedIn) first, to give you the biggest springboard to getting the most out of these events.
