Procurement and supply chain stages, from Xiamen to Helsinki
Procurement, supply chain and logistics congresses
Procurement and supply chain leaders are among the first to hand real decisions to AI agents, and among the first to feel what that does to people. Dorka Nagy-Józsa has spoken to 1,500+ procurement leaders at the IFPSM World Summit in Xiamen, at the IFPSM summit in Kenya and at LOGY in Helsinki and Tallinn.

What organisers need
People, agents and decisions
A procurement or logistics congress is full of specialists: category managers, buyers, planners, operations leaders. Their work is being reshaped by AI agents that negotiate, plan and order. The keynote they remember is the one about the people side: which decisions the agent should be allowed to make, why good people sit back instead of steering, and what leading a team of humans and agents asks of a procurement leader.
Dorka's signature idea, the end of the specialist era, lands especially well here: depth used to be the career strategy; now the leaders who last are the ones who connect domains they don't fully own.

Ratings, stages and references: Proof of Performance.
"I had a 3pm back-to-back so I was genuinely planning to slip out after 20 minutes. I didn't. I'm not sure exactly when that decision happened, somewhere between the prefrontal cortex part and the moment she made a room of 400 procurement professionals laugh at themselves. I flew back and cancelled two vendor contracts we didn't need."

FAQ
Questions organisers ask
Has Dorka spoken at procurement conferences before?
Yes: the IFPSM World Summit 2025 in Xiamen to 1,500+ procurement and supply-chain leaders (invited back as closing keynote for 2026), the IFPSM summit in Kenya, LOGY in Helsinki and Tallinn and the Hungarian national logistics congress.
Is the keynote about procurement processes?
No. It is about the people and the decisions: AI agents, buy-in, and leadership when specialists have to work across domains. The procurement examples come from your audience, gathered in the stakeholder call.
