On May 6th, 30 senior procurement practitioners will gather in Gothenburg for a full-day, hands-on workshop. The event is fully booked — and for good reason. If you want to join we can just about make room for a couple of more but need to know now.
Procurement teams today are navigating a perfect storm of expectations:
✔️ Increased supplier risk
✔️ New sustainability regulations
✔️ Greater pressure to act with speed — and insight
Through short presentations and structured group discussions, EBG | Xperience creates space for practitioners to compare real-world practices, share lessons learned, and reflect on what’s needed next.
What Will Be Shared
💡 Carolina Koivisto (Prewave) and Henrik Nyberg (Ivalua) will kick off the day by sharing how tech platforms are enabling smarter, more predictive supplier risk strategies — especially in uncertain regulatory and geopolitical landscapes.
💡 Anna Stamborg (Essity) and Olof Brink (Autoliv) will explore how to embed risk management into daily procurement operations — through internal networks, clear governance, and cross-functional alignment.
💡 Aneesh Venkataraman (Dentsply Sirona) will offer a global perspective on filtering supplier data, building internal governance models, and defining “good enough” insight in a world where overload is a daily reality.
💡 Helena Knappe (Volvo Buses) will wrap up the speaker sessions by sharing how her team is navigating new EU sustainability regulations — balancing compliance, supplier collaboration, and operational risk.
What Will Be Discussed
In between each speaker session, participants will join structured, expert-led discussions focused on themes such as:
- Where organizations fall on the risk maturity curve
- What it takes to turn risk strategy into day-to-day decisions
- How to define and act on usable supplier data
- What visibility beyond tier 1 really looks like — and how to get there
- How to align cost, risk, and sustainability in supplier management
These are the real, daily challenges procurement leaders are facing. And this is where EBG | Xperience shines: by bringing peers together to unpack not just what’s happening — but how it’s actually being handled.
Who’s Joining?
Procurement leaders from 30 practitioner companies – all coming to learn from each other, with no fluff, no filler, and no slides for the sake of slides.
Why It Matters
When risk is increasing, time is shrinking, and data is everywhere — procurement needs structure, community, and clarity more than ever. EBG | Xperience GBG is designed to deliver just that.
