A Conference on
Sustainable Procurement and Digital Transformation
18 April 2026 | Chennai, INDIA
What's about the conference
The CIPS Chennai Branch (a volunteer body), functioning under CIPS INDIA and aligned with the global standards of the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS, UK), is proud to present a one-day conference on Sustainable Procurement and Digital Transformation—two forces redefining the future of the procurement profession.
This conference offers procurement professionals a powerful opportunity to stay ahead in an increasingly complex and technology-driven business environment. Attendees will gain practical insights into embedding sustainability into sourcing strategies, managing ESG expectations, and building resilient, responsible supply chains. With sustainability now a board-level priority, understanding its commercial and compliance implications is no longer optional—it is essential.
Equally, the conference will explore how digital transformation—through automation, data analytics, AI-driven insights, and e-procurement platforms—is reshaping procurement operations. Participants will learn how to leverage digital tools to improve efficiency, enhance supplier collaboration, reduce costs, and drive strategic value.
Beyond knowledge, this event provides invaluable networking opportunities with industry leaders, practitioners, and thought leaders. It is a platform to exchange ideas, benchmark best practices, and strengthen professional connections.
Attending this conference is not just about learning—it’s about future-proofing your procurement career and positioning yourself as a strategic business partner in a rapidly evolving landscape.
