DPW New York 2026: Why Supply Chain Leaders Should Attend
The supply chain function is moving into a new operational phase. To discuss this shift, leaders will gather at the Duggal Greenhouse in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, for DPW New York on June 3-4, 2026.
The summit will gather enterprise leaders and technology innovators across the source-to-deliver spectrum for two days, focused on how artificial intelligence is changing supply chain operations. The event is undertaking RECODE as its organising theme.
AI could reshape how organisations manage supplier relationships, coordinate logistics, make purchasing decisions and operate end-to-end networks. The RECODE concept examines what happens when supply chain professionals and intelligent systems operate together, from automated workflows to fully autonomous supply chain operations.
DPW New York will bring together chief procurement officers, supply chain executives, AI innovators, startups and logistics specialists who are building next-generation capabilities. The event is designed for professionals leading sourcing at Fortune 500 companies and those building supply chain technology.
What attendees will experience
The event is organised around six elements: content (keynotes and discussions), technology (expo hall, demos and pitches), connections (curated matchmaking), performances, food and drink alongside events including yoga, running and recharge zones.
Duggal Greenhouse is a 35,000 sq ft waterfront venue in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline.
The format combines structured sessions with informal networking opportunities. Attendees will be able to see technology demonstrations and meet with vendors on the expo floor.

Why supply chain leaders attend
DPW New York offers supply chain professionals a venue to test their assumptions about technology adoption and meet vendors building new operating models. The agenda examines what supply chain management becomes when agentic AI moves from pilot to production.
Chief procurement officers managing the transition to autonomous systems will be in attendance. The sessions could address how to govern AI-driven processes, renegotiate supplier relationships when AI mediates transactions and build the business case for supply chain's strategic value within organisations.
The conversations at Duggal Greenhouse in June could matter for supply chain leaders who need to understand how AI will change their networks. Passes are available at nyc.dpw.ai.
