Introducing the Innovation Zone
Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE Chicago is elevating its impact by launching the Innovation Zone, a curated stage designed to spotlight the most exciting and transformative technologies driving procurement and supply chain forward.
Over the course of two days, the space will host a series of focused 15-minute technology pitches, giving pioneering startups, scaleups and solution providers the chance to present their innovations to a high-calibre audience of thought leaders, investors and C-suite executives.
From AI-powered decision-making tools to predictive logistics platforms and next-generation spend management systems, this new space will highlight practical solutions that deliver measurable business value.
Why Chicago?
Chicago – a powerhouse in logistics, trade and manufacturing – represents the ideal setting for Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE's in-person US debut.
The Windy City's rich industrial heritage and strategic position make it a natural choice to ignite a global dialogue on modern supply chain and procurement strategy.
It also reflects the event’s growing global ambition. Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE has already attracted thousands of attendees and speakers from leading organisations including Unilever, IBM, Siemens and SAP — and the Chicago edition promises to be no different.
We’ve seen enormous momentum around AI and automation in procurement. The Innovation Zone creates a dedicated space where emerging technologies can be seen, understood and challenged.
About the venue
The stunning Convene Willis Tower serves as a premium meeting and events venue with state-of-the-art facilities, spanning 90,000 square feet across the entire third floor of the building.
It is conveniently located in the heart of the city in the Loop neighbourhood of Chicago, between West Adams and West Jackson Streets, making it an ideal location for networking and collaboration.
Washington/Wells Station, Quincy Station and Union Station can all be found just a stone's throw away.
Back in 1973, the Willis Tower opened as the world's tallest building, a title it held for almost 25 years. To this day, it is still referred to by its original name, the Sears Tower.
During Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE, attendees can expect cutting-edge technology, unique meeting rooms and ample space for interactive sessions.
