Connections at DPW Amsterdam 2025

Participate in informal, community-driven gatherings that bring together like-minded people across procurement—those who share your experiences, challenges, and goals.

1. Procurement Under 30: You’re not the future—you’re the now. Meet the next generation of talent shaping the profession from the ground up.
2. Investor & Founders: Where capital meets innovation. Connect investors with the founders shaping the future of procurement tech.
3. Women in Procurement: An empowering space for women across procurement and supply chain to meet, share, and support each other.
4. CPO Exchange: Connect with fellow Chief Procurement Officers to exchange candid insights on transformation, leadership, and what’s next

Build meaningful connections on your own terms. Whether you prefer to handpick who you meet or let smart matching suggest the right people, our platform makes it easy to connect.

1. Self-directed DIY 1:1 meeting: Use the DPW event app to schedule 1:1 meetings with other attendees, sponsors, and speakers. Search and filter by role, company, or interest—and book a slot at our dedicated meeting lounge at the venue.
2. Interest-based networking: Or let tech do the work. Our app suggests relevant people to meet based on tech domains, industries, company size, and other criteria you choose.

Join intimate, expert-led discussions with up to 30 peers who share your challenges and ambitions. More than networking, these sessions spark focused, interactive conversations around specific topics and challenges. With limited group sizes, every voice is heard — ensuring practical insights and actionable takeaways you can put to work immediately.

1. From Data to Impact: The Digital Future of Sustainability Performance
2. Lead or Be Led: Agentic AI and the Future of Procurement Leadership
3. GenAI Procurement Promptathon: From Prompting Basics to Real-World Impact

Take networking beyond the venue and connect in a more relaxed, engaging setting. Our side events offer multiple ways to meet peers, share ideas, and build relationships outside the main conference program, such as:

1. Padel Tournament: Gather your team and showcase your competitive spirit on the court.
2. Founders Drinks: Invite-only boat ride through the picturesque canals of Amsterdam
3. Opening Party: Join us for the official kick-off of DPW Amsterdam 2025! Get ready for an unforgettable evening filled with refreshing drinks, food bites, and vibrant music
