WEBINAR – AI and Contracts: Shifting Insight Beyond Legal, presented by Agiloft
2026-07-30 17:00 - 18:00
Many procurement teams are exploring AI as a way to move beyond basic contract retrieval and toward intelligent, outcome-oriented uses of contract data. Add in an orchestration layer for all the AI pieces, and the resulting contract lifecycle management (CLM) solution has the potential to improve accuracy, usability, and scalability.
In this Live session, we talk about how Procurement’s utilization of AI-enabled CLM is starting to rival even Legal’s. The discussion will draw on real-world examples of how self-service access to contract information is changing the way legal, procurement, finance, and operations teams engage with contract data, reducing bottlenecks and improving commercial outcomes.
Our speakers will answer live questions about:
1. Common AI use cases and workflows that fall within the typical contract lifecycle
2. What ‘data availability’ means in the context of agreements and how wider access is increasing company-wide understanding of commitments
3. The value of standardizing contract terms, especially for the sake of obligation management and exposure assessment

WEBINAR – The Autonomous Intelligent Supply Chain: What Procurement Must Do Now to Build Resilience and Agility by JAGGAER & BearingPoint
2026-04-23 17:00
The Autonomous Intelligent Supply Chain: What Procurement Must Do Now to Build Resilience and Agility
Global supply chains are under unprecedented strain. According to a global survey of 620 senior executives across the US, Europe, and China, over 80% experienced major disruptions in the past two years: freight instability, regulatory shifts, trade tariffs, and geopolitical volatility are accelerating disruption cycles from decades to days.
Yet most organizations remain reactive: Only 10% have fully embedded geopolitical risk into supply chain governance. Just 8% have fully integrated AI-driven planning and orchestration into their supply chain strategy.
The future belongs to Autonomous Intelligent Supply Chains: intelligent, predictive, and collaborative ecosystems built for constant disruption.
In this session, BearingPoint will reveal: Why diversification and multi-tier visibility (86%) are now the dominant resilience strategy. Why cloud (69%) and AI (50%) are the top investment priorities for the next wave of transformation. Where procurement capability gaps remain — especially in smart procurement and orchestration tools (26%).
Procurement leaders will walk away with a clear roadmap for shifting from efficiency-driven sourcing to adaptive, risk-intelligent orchestration.
Meet the Speaker(s): Chetan Rangaswamy is a Partner at BearingPoint with over 25 years of industry and consulting experience, specializing in corporate strategy, operations, and procurement transformation. Based in Chicago, he leads the U.S. business and advises Production Industries clients on operational excellence, digital transformation, and supply chain optimization.

One Year Later: The Year Tariffs Took Over Trade
2026-04-14 09:00 - 10:00
Tariff Stacking, Section 232 Updates & Practical Strategies for Today’s Importers.
In April 2025, sweeping tariff actions reshaped global trade. For many importers, the complexity hasn’t slowed down since. Tariff stacking, evolving Section 232 measures, and overlapping duty programs are increasing costs, creating greater uncertainty, and making compliance decisions more difficult. Now the Supreme Court’s IEEPA ruling is driving further change.
In this practical session, Star USA’s trade compliance experts go beyond policy to focus on real-world application. You’ll see how tariffs interact, where companies get caught off guard, and how to approach decisions with more confidence and control so your team can move from reacting to planning.
During this session, you will learn about:
What tariff stacking really looks like and why it’s catching companies off guard
The current state of Section 232 and its impact on importers
Strategic implications of the Supreme Court’s IEEPA ruling
How multiple tariff programs can apply to a single product
Key Section 122 considerations
Real-world examples of navigating today’s layered tariff environment

WEBINAR – You Can’t Automate Chaos: Scaling Procurement with AI-Native Orchestration, presented by OMNEA
2026-03-22 17:00
Procurement teams are often trapped in ‘intake chaos’ – chasing fragmented requests across Slack and email while struggling to maintain compliance and visibility. As organizations scale, this manual ‘busywork’ prevents procurement from moving beyond a reactive administrative function to becoming a true strategic partner.
In this fireside chat, James Rafferty, Head of Procurement at Thumbtack, joins us to share how he transformed their procurement process into a seamless, guided experience. By moving away from legacy ‘AI-bolted-on’ tools toward an AI-native approach, Thumbtack has streamlined how requests enter the business, ensuring every spend and risk check is handled with precision from the start.
The conversation will explore how Omnea’s conversational intake and agentic AI act as a ‘strategic front door,’ steering employees toward preferred suppliers while automating the complex orchestration of legal, risk, and finance approvals. We’ll discuss the shift from managing manual workflows to delivering measurable outcomes – including drastically reduced cycle times and enterprise-wide value realization.
Attendees will gain practical insights on:
The ‘Front Door’ Strategy: Why intelligent intake is the foundation of procurement value – capturing the full picture in the fewest steps to eliminate time-consuming follow-ups.
AI-Native vs. AI-Bolted On: Understanding the difference between basic automation and agentic AI that handles the heavy lifting of supplier assessments and stakeholder summaries.
Driving 100% Adoption: How Thumbtack created a process so intuitive that employees actually love using it, ensuring shadow IT is tackled and compliance is built-in by design.
Measurable Outcomes at Scale: What a successful transformation looks like in practice, from accelerating contract reviews to achieving a single source of truth for every supplier.
The Future of AI SRM: Lessons learned from Thumbtack’s journey in moving from fragmented systems to a unified, AI-powered supplier relationship management platform.
Speakers:
James Rafferty, Thumbtack
Ben Freeman, Omnea

Identifying Foreign Ownership Risk in Supply Chains: Why 'Knowing Your Suppliers' is No Longer Enough
2026-02-11 09:00
US supply chain risk management has undergone a fundamental shift in response to national security regulations and mandates.
Compliance is no longer just about what you are buying, where it was made, or from whom; who owns or influences suppliers is now a core concern of risk management.
Originally focused on defense contractors, now Foreign Ownership, Control, and Influence (FOCI) regulations extend to commercial businesses, even those without classified government contracts.
Section 847 of the FY20 National Defense Authorization Act, as well as frameworks targeting ‘foreign entities of concern,’ seek to counter potential data exfiltration, industrial sabotage, and geopolitical leverage by adversarial powers like Russia or China.
Compliance and risk professionals now need to not only map their supply chains but establish holistic views of their direct and indirect suppliers, all without introducing unnecessary risk noise and inefficiencies.
Join Sayari’s Phil Kittock and Covington’s Ryan Burnette on Wednesday, February 11, 2026 at 10am EST to learn how organizations are leveraging unified data and risk intelligence to efficiently triage and mitigate this type of supplier ownership risk.
The agenda will include:
– A recap of the evolving regulatory and risk landscape driving prioritization to supplier beneficial ownership including Section 889 of the FY19 NDAA, Section 805 of the FY24 NDAA, and the BIS Connected Vehicles Rule.
– Case studies illustrating how hidden supplier ownership risk can be identified and triaged
– Best practices for efficiently mitigating and responding to the most critical risk
This webinar is for supply chain risk management specialists, trade compliance officers, and sourcing managers working to identify and mitigate risk posed by hidden foreign ownership or control in supply chains as well as the regulators tasked with enforcing these measures.
