ISM-Houston: Beyond the Pilot: Building a Procurement Function That Runs on AI
Artificial Intelligence has moved from concept to capability, and for many procurement teams, the pilot is done. The real challenge now is what comes next.

· Understand why most AI pilots stall and what it actually takes to move from pilot to operational function.
· Learn how to connect AI across intake, sourcing, contracting, and P2P to build a fully integrated procurement engine.
· Discover the people, process, and governance decisions that make AI scale sustainably.
· Walk away with a clear picture of what a procurement function that runs on AI looks like and how to start building it.
