Coupa Inspire 2026 will take place from May 11 to 14 in Las Vegas, bringing procurement and supply chain leaders together to focus on how artificial intelligence is reshaping enterprise operations.
The event, hosted by Coupa, will centre on the growing role of AI in spend management, sourcing, and supplier networks.
More than 70 customer-led sessions are planned, with global companies including Tyson Foods and Kimberly-Clark set to share how they are using digital tools to improve procurement and supply chain performance.
The programme also introduces a new developer-focused event, AI DevCon, aimed at building and testing AI agents for procurement workflows. The move signals a broader shift toward automation in sourcing and supplier management.
For grocery and FMCG sectors, the relevance sits in how procurement is evolving. Faster sourcing decisions, improved cost visibility, and stronger supplier coordination are becoming critical as retailers face ongoing pressure on margins and supply continuity.
Companies are increasingly looking at AI-driven platforms to manage large-scale spend and reduce inefficiencies across global supply chains.
Coupa said its network connects millions of buyers and suppliers, using data to improve decision-making across procurement and finance functions.
The event will also feature sessions on supply chain resilience, with a focus on how businesses can respond more quickly to disruption through better data and automation.
Coupa Inspire 2026 comes at a time when retailers and suppliers are under pressure to modernise procurement systems and gain tighter control over costs.
The event is expected to provide further insight into how AI adoption is moving from pilot projects into operational use across global supply networks.
