U.S. manufacturers are being repriced faster than their cost data can keep up. Tariffs stack, raw material prices swing, and trade rules shift mid-quarter, and every one of those events hits margin and competitiveness directly. For procurement teams the job has changed: you need the true total landed cost of every part, origin cost, freight, logistics and duties, and you need it again as soon as conditions move.
Tom Yanowsky of KNF Neuberger shares what this looks like inside a U.S. plant that manufactures locally while sourcing from European sister factories: how tariff changes reshaped sourcing decisions, why the answer still lives in Excel instead of SAP, and where the localize-or-import calculation actually breaks down.
Johannes Groll, Chief Product Officer at Tacto, then shows how AI changes the economics of that work: Tacto Intelligence models complex supply chains and cost drivers across hundreds of thousands of parts at once, so buyers get landed cost transparency in minutes rather than weeks and can defend price increases with facts instead of arguments.
Includes live product demonstrations and time for audience Q&A.

AI Lab: Practical AI for Procurement is an onsite, in-person workshop designed for procurement professionals who want to use AI with greater confidence, clarity, and business impact.
Created for business users, not technical specialists, this hands-on learning experience helps participants understand where AI can support real work, from supplier research and sourcing preparation to risk review, stakeholder communication, and stronger decision-making.
Through guided practice, peer discussion, and a realistic procurement-focused AI activity, participants will learn practical ways to prompt, evaluate, and apply AI responsibly. Because the workshop is delivered in person, attendees also benefit from live facilitator guidance, shared examples, networking, and interactive practice alongside procurement peers.
This is an in-person learning experience located at the ISM HQ in Tempe, AZ. To get the most out of this workshop, please bring your own laptop.
Starts: 8:45am MT / Ends: 12:00pm MT
