    Contracts have always been vulnerable to the same weakness: once they’re signed and filed, nobody remembers exactly what’s in them. Even the most critical agreements only really get opened back up when something goes wrong, and a contract manager has to work out how to manage the problem. But when all that contract data is properly stored, shared, and assigned, the impact of unseen risks can drop to near-zero, and the opportunity to get the most out of every agreement rises.

    In this in-depth conversation, we’ll lay out how to reveal, and use, all your contract data by:

    • Identifying, extracting, and distributing accurate data across the organization, so that it can impact every process in the operation.
    • Proactively allocating responsibility for key provisions, so they are tracked and tagged before molehills become mountains.
    • Using AI to provide easy access to critical commitments, so that contract managers across the business can manage vendor and partner relationships smoothly.

    This is a must-attend event for anyone looking to squeeze all the value out of every contract – and to limit the risk hidden away when data is invisible.

    In today’s fast-evolving manufacturing landscape, sustainability is no longer a side initiative — it’s a competitive advantage. From carbon reporting pressures to material efficiency goals, suppliers now sit at the center of every company’s green transformation. Yet, building and scaling an effective supplier sustainability program can be time-consuming and complex.

    This session will explore how leading companies are using AI to engage suppliers, uncover high-ROI cost reduction projects, and accelerate progress across all sustainability targets — from emissions, waste, and energy to biodiversity and beyond. We’ll show how AI can help teams move from data overload to decisive action — building a more resilient, profitable, and greener supply chain in minutes, not months.

    This action-based workshop will guide participants through creating a tailored 30-day action plan to operationalize a turnkey supplier sustainability program. Attendees will also receive a list of 50+ sustainability project ideas proven to reduce costs while advancing 3–5 key sustainability targets.

    You'll Learn:

  • Why carrots work better than sticks when motivating suppliers to deliver sustainability results
  • What leading companies are doing to empower suppliers with tools and training that drive measurable impact
  • How to build a customized supplier sustainability program and launch joint projects that cut costs and advance multiple sustainability goals
