April 26–28, 2026
Gaylord Rockies Resort & Conference Center, Aurora / Denver, Colorado
Synertrade will be at ISM World 2026, one of the leading gatherings for procurement and supply management professionals, bringing together industry leaders, practitioners and innovators to explore the trends shaping the future of the profession. The 2026 edition takes place at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Conference Center in Aurora, near Denver, Colorado.
Throughout the event, our team will contribute to a rich program of sessions focused on the topics that matter most to procurement leaders today: AI, supplier risk, sourcing innovation, procurement transformation, orchestration, and the 2026 CPO agenda. These sessions are designed to provide practical insights, real-world perspectives and actionable ideas for organizations looking to create more value across their procurement and supply chain operations.
Industry events such as ISM World are also a unique opportunity to step back from day-to-day execution, reconnect with peers, and take the time to reflect on how procurement is evolving — from process efficiency to strategic value creation, from digital transformation to AI-driven decision-making
Why meet us at ISM World 2026?
At Synertrade, we believe procurement is entering a new phase — one where technology, data and AI are no longer optional enablers, but core drivers of resilience, performance and collaboration.
Join us at ISM World 2026 to discuss how procurement organizations can:
reduce supplier and supply chain risk with AI-enabled insights
reinvent sourcing strategies to unlock greater business value
navigate the rise of orchestration platforms and new digital ecosystems
benchmark their strategy against best-in-class procurement organizations
turn procurement transformation into measurable business outcomes
