EBG | Xperience 2025 was a success! Each workshop day was fully booked with 30 procurement professionals from different companies joining. Informal yet to the point Xperience got a solid 5.5 out of 6 score. In 2026 we visit new cities with the same level of attendees and same quality experience exchange. Each workshop start with a pre-survey benchmark, continue with valid presentations and roundtable discussions including mapping exercises.
Unified 2026 Theme
Procurement at a Crossroads: Building Capabilities, Confidence & Strategic Growth
Turning complexity into capability — together.
In 2026, EBG | Xperience gathers senior Nordic procurement leaders for three focused, discussion-driven workshop days. We explore how procurement enables strategic growth by aligning people, resilience, and technology — then turn those ambitions into practical action.
Why Xperience 2026?
- Strategic, not theoretical: We address board-level priorities — growth, resilience, sustainability — and translate them into operating models, skills, and execution.
- Short inputs, deep discussions: Brief reflections from practitioners and sponsors spark roundtables and mapping exercises — where the real learning happens.
- Senior peer group: CPOs, Heads of Procurement and adjacent leaders (Finance, Sustainability, Supply Chain) exchange what actually works in Nordic contexts.
