The Next Wave

AI is everywhere, but inside finance and procurement, the story is more complex than the headlines suggest.

We surveyed leaders across the industry to get a clearer view: Where are teams investing? What’s showing early impact? And where is the hype still outpacing reality? In this opening keynote, we’ll reveal the data and hear from sharp, forward-looking voices who are tracking the shift from experimentation to strategy. They’ll unpack the big themes, the risks leaders aren’t talking about enough, and what’s coming next.

Once the strategy is set, the real work begins.

In this session, you’ll hear directly from finance and procurement leaders who’ve been hands-on with AI - testing tools, reworking processes, and figuring out what actually drives results. They’ll share where they started, what surprised them, and what they’d change if they had the chance to do it again. From faster sourcing cycles to cleaner vendor data, these stories pull back the curtain on how AI is showing up in day-to-day work—and what it really takes to make progress.

You’ve heard how teams are putting AI to work, now it’s our turn to show you what we’ve built.

At Tropic, we’ve always been more about substance than sizzle when it comes to AI. This session gives you a front-row seat to the tools we’ve been quietly building to make procurement faster, smarter, and way less painful. We’ll walk through how Tropic AI is already powering smarter intake, quicker approvals, and data-backed negotiation that actually move the needle.

What does it look like when finance, procurement, and accounting are actually in sync? We’ll show you.

In this live workshop, you’ll hear directly from Tropic’s own VP of Procurement, CFO, and Head of Accounting as they walk through how their teams use Tropic AI day-to-day. From managing intake and tightening compliance to keeping spend aligned - this is real talk on how cross-functional collaboration actually happens.
