Catalyst | NYC 2026. When AI Becomes Operational Reality

Exclusive working session to redesign your procurement operating model as AI becomes operational reality. New York City, November 17th 2026

AOP Catalyst | NYC: AI Becomes Operational Reality

Embark on a transformative journey at Catalyst | NYC, an exclusive one-day event designed to empower procurement leaders to redesign their operating model, redefine where AI stops and judgment begins, and tackle the leadership decisions most organizations are deferring as AI accelerates.

As 2026 ends, AI will no longer be a future state for procurement. From market intelligence and sourcing recommendations to automated workflows and procurement orchestration, supplier risk monitoring and contract analysis, AI systems are making procurement decisions — often faster than operating models, leadership accountability, and governance can adapt.

By 2027, these patterns will have hardened. The question is whether they were intentionally designed — or allowed to emerge by default.

Catalyst | NYC's agenda is finely tuned to help you make AI's impact explicit, protect decision quality as AI-driven execution speed increases, and stop work without diminishing influence..
